Live in East Dulwich and work in .....?????????

[Mark]

Clerkenwell, about 25 minutes by scooter.

[kford]

Baker Street. 20-25 mins on motorbike, depending on weather and lights.

[bawdy-nan]

Oxford Circus - commute 1 1/2 hours including nursery drop off (15 minute walk), school drop off (30 - 35 minute walk) bus ride to Brixton then tube.

Current commute about the smae but involves nursery walk, bus journey to waterloo for school holiday club drop off then tube to Oxford circus.

Ideally I would like a motorbike and side car.

[alachlan]

Bank by bike or train to London Bridge then onto Cannon Street (lazy). Would be faster by bike but then of course you need to shower.

[demery]

an hour and a half to shepherds bush - were you walking? backwards?! ;-)

I used to drive to Stockley Park near Heathrow and it generally took about 70 mins door to door, less at the crack of dawn. I'd lived in Clapham before and moving to ED definitely made the journey worse. I never once had any inclination to move back to Clapham!

I currently work in the city or at home. A couple of minutes on the Brompton to Lordship Lane for lunch is sweet!

City by Brompton is about 25 mins, without too much of sweat

[AcedOut]

The City (near Bank of England). 20 minutes to the London Wall underground car park by scooter. 15 minutes back in the evening :)

[hibbs]

50 minutes to Clerkenwell - hmmmmmm me thinks I should purchase myself a scooter.

[Twentiethcenturymarc]

Live off Goose Green and work in Kensington...if I time the connections properly I can do it 35 minutes, which isn't too bad. And the 176 does for me okay at night from the city.

[SeanMacGabhann]

50 minutes on the 63 to Clerkenwell should be easily possible - prob not after 8am to be fair but I've done it regularly

(umm good to see you back on here as well hibbs)

[Dulwichmudlark]

peckham rye to siansburys 10 mins max

[boosboss]

63 to E&C then Bakerloo Line :))

[Mrs Y]

I attend two offices one in Tottenham Court Road the other in Croydon - drive to TCR which takes about 40mins and Croydon 25 mins.

[spadetownboy]

stroll/bike to denmark hill/peckham rye, choo choo to bromley sth, stroll/bike other end.

[glau]

Aldwich from top of Lordship Lane on the 176. 60 mins depending on traffic, got to be one of the ugliest, most depressing routes in London, Walworth Rd - EC. Tried cycling until knocked off at EC by minicab driver.

Looking for a job nearby. Any suggestions?

Also do Liverpool street: Brompton - Train - Brompton.

[Guest]

City - change at London Bridge for Cannon Street, then toddle for five mins. About 45-50 mins total due to walk this end.

[macroban]

Does no-one live in East Dulwich and work in East Dulwich?

[redrouge]

I study in Wimbledon, so 185 to Vauxhall (about an hour) then train from there to Wimbledon (15 mins) then a 20 minute walk to uni. Then I go to work in the West End and that takes 45 mins on the tube and train, then 176 home from Leicester Sq and that can take up to an hour at 11pm at night! Unfortunately, my commute is so drastic, I'm leaving ED for the first time in my life and moving to Wimbledon :(

Dulwich?

Me.

Also Eric the painter of Landells Road.

[LuvPeckham]

Peckham actually (which is fairly close to East Dulwich) B)

[demery]

redrouge - why would you not take the train to wimbledon from peckham rye?

[Izodia]

Yep redrouge, as demery says there's a train link to Wimbledon from ED. My other half works in Raynes Park and he can do door to door in about 40 mins. There's about 3 direct trains every morning and evening. But even when the direct trains aren't running, it's still quick with changing at Tulse Hill. Did the journey only yesterday evening. Left ED station at 19.20 arrived at Wimbledon at 19.50.

No - i think he is me! 40 from first stop to last in Aldgate. Pain in the arse, but simple as I work about 50 yards from the last stop and a 5 minute walk from the first stop. I hate it but it's half the price of getting the train each month. Thank god for Chris Moyles on Radio 1 in the morning.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Part of my rationale behind walking from E&C to wherever work is, is that it makes the journey time much more reliable. Wally Rd can be bad but Plough to E&C is fairly reliable - Borough High st is often ok too but London Bridge and beyond brings out the screaming-nutter in me

I've even noticed a few workers from my office at the PLough bus-stop now (although one of them tells people at work she lives in the Village - ha - sounds like the sort of person to prove Louisa right)

[Moos]

Ooh, is it Celebrate Louise On The Forum Day today?

Do we get free sausages with every mention?

Am looking forward to Celebrate DulwichMum On The Forum Day (free gin) and Celebrate Azul On The Forum Day (free upside-down fish in flowerpots).

The direct trains are a bit too early for my commute and any time I've got the train to Tulse Hill and then the train to Wimbledon, I find that the trains are nearly ALWAYS delayed, so if I miss one of the trains to Tulse Hill/its delayed and get to Tulse Hill, the Wimbledon trains only run once every half an hour, and that's half an hour of waiting I've had to do too many times in the rain whilst holding big black bags of art work. Commuting is made 10x worse when you're a design student!

And yesterday all the trains were cancelled/delayed forever! I waited at Wimbledon station for the 18:20 back to Dulwich, and it never came... Hoards of very annoyed looking people, scrambling for a new route home. I just got on the train back to Vauxhall. My patience with first capital connect/southern ran out after my first week at university.
