(apologies for the earlier incomplete post)

Following the recent discussions on redrawing the zone boundaries I thought
it would be interestint to work out what the boundaries would look like on a
pure distance based system. All stations were placed into zones according to
their distance from Charing Cross. The number of stations was kept constant
so for each station that moves in, one has to move out.

In general it seems that boundaries are too close together in North and
South London and too far apart in East and West London.
