Quickest way to Hammersmith

[Narnia]

Is there a quicker way to get there by public transport apart from going into Victoria anyone, please?

176 to Waterloo - Train to Putney - 485 Bus to Hammersmith

Lon Bridge, Jubilee to west mister or grn park, then change respectively.

12 to Westminster, District line to Hammersmith.

37 to clapham junction, train to olympic and then walk/bus the last bit. But not sure it's quicker than going to victoria and getting the district lin.

Depending on where you are in ED: get the 40/176/185 to Denmark Hill station (5-10mins); then train to Victoria (10mins) and then District Line to Hammersmith (16mins). Anything that relies too much on buses is prone to delays.

Why are you so afraid of Victoria???

True, but I tend to find the more changes I make on a journey the more prone to going downhill it is

Narnia, I sympathise. I don't think there is any easy way to get to or from hammesrmith. What about the overground from Clapham Junction to Shep Bush and then a walk/bus hop to hammersmith?

I've got to do the reverse journey late Thurs evening and was thinking of getting tube to elephant then bus. Does that sound nuts? I find trains few and far between from Vic in the late evening

Not afraid of Victoria at all but wondered if there was a quicker way across town rather than going into town. Clapham J sounds good Sean but not sure how quickly you can get there from ED. Will check it out. Thanks.

it takes me about 20 mins from east dulwich grove on the 37 bus - so it does depend on where in ED you are

narnia - I needed to know the answer to this exact question for last Friday morning for my brother and I was told by an old ED-ite that the quickest way by public transport would be via 185 to Victoria then tube.

He ended up getting the train to London Bridge from ED then tube and made it in enough time for a 9.30 meeting, after leaving the house (nr the CPT) at 8.15.

I see your friends take the same attitude to punctuality that you do Katie. ;-)

Sean, first, I laughed :)) but now I am :-$

yes, narnia, it is probably advisable to leave the house earlier than that to get to Hammersmith (yes, it was my fault he didn't have enough time to get the 185)

I used to get the District Line to work in Chelsea and never found a quicker way than walk and bus to Peckham Rye (30 mins from my part of ED), train to Victoria (15 minutes) tube to Sloane Square, walk to work. Door to door 55 mins. So I'd add another 10 minutes on if I were going to Hammersmith.

I do this route regularly, usually by bike (45 to 50 mins). But on public transport I don't think anything is quicker than train to Victoria then tube. If you hit it right it takes an hour but it's usually more like 1 hr 15 or 1 hr 30.

If you get the 14 or 44 train from East Dulwich to Peckham Rye, you can be at Victoria in 24 minutes.
