7 mins door to door for me. Work in the next suburb.

Longest I've ever commuted, was for over 18 months, from MK's (Stony Stratford) to Aldgate Pump, circa 2 hours door to door (before MK central station was built) So Wolverton to either the Monument or Aldgate. I will never commute a distance again.

Last address in the UK, Peckham to Aldgate, circa 30 mins, that trip could at times be very eventful, especially coming home after a late shift. Just had a thought... Thats the only UK address my wife has really known... no wonder she would never ever move to England lol.

I leave my house at 5.20am for an 8am start... but it can take 3 hours to get home from leaving work to getting the trains and then biking.

So all in all pretty shit!
