Has anyone travelled to Walthamstow from Lordship Lane by public transport in the week and can recommend

the best and quickest route please.


I thought it might be easier to travel from Forest Hill, as the Victoria Line is something of a dogleg but it seems we would have to change from Whitechapel

to Bethnal Green with a 10 minute walk in between.


I am able to map it out but would prefer to hear from someone who has accomplished this journey physically

and found a good route in defiance of TfL and google maps.


Thank you

It really depends on where you start. If you are nearer to Townley, get the 37 to Brixton and then you are laughing. Also, it depends on the time of day. Rush hour will slow your trip to a train or tube considerably. Denmark Hill or Peckham Rye to Victoria then the Victoria line would be best, but watch out for rush hour temporary closures when it gets really busy. (I think Denmark H has more services to Victoria per hour than PR.)

If you are near to F Hill, isn't there a service to Victoria as well?

Certainly at rush hour, I assumed (maybe wrongly) a gallery visit would be offpeak, when it's no worse than any other central London station.

The thing about google maps, though, is that it will take current conditions, traffic jams etc (for buses) into account and give you different routes depending on the time you are travelling.


The closer to your start time you ask it, the more accurate will be the result.


That has been my experience anyway, both for driving and for using public transport.


And you can put William Morris Gallery in as your destination, I imagine, so even more accurate than just "Walthamstow".


It has often come up with routes I would never have thought of myself.


ETA: It's a long time since I've been there, so I may be wrong, but I didn't think the gallery was that near the station?

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
