    I'm so glad I didn't have to go anywhere today... buses are great sometimes, but not during rush-hour.

    I never take the tube I either walk to uni or take the bus. Considering the buses are just as bad, I tend to walk alot :p

    And from Tower of London to Angel that's one hell of a walk.

    do you honestly walk that far ? thats crazy.

    I often walk from Kings Cross to Tottenham Court road/Oxford street. By the time you go underground, wait for a tube, then come back out again you might as well have walked.

    Anyways, the walk is better for your health. (um, perhaps not with the polution)

    Sometimes I do as the bus I get home is "supposed" to come every ten minutes but a few times I have had to wait over an hour for the bus and I can walk that distance in an hour.

    Although if it's raining I walk only to Liverpool St where my bus leaves from and hie in the station till the bus arrives :p

    lol well kinda good exercise I guess ..... will burn calories but make my asthma worse :p

    Nope :p

    Even if I could I wouldn't drive in London, for one thing I think my area just falls in the congestion charge zone, if my flat doesn't I know uni definatly does :(

    Isn't it £5 a day though? I'm a student I'm too damn cheap to pay that plus that does add up to alot of money :p

    Plus can't afford a car or petrol prices

    actually, I do drive to work every day, but I work in north london, and I drive in from hertfordshire.

    When I go into central london I always catch the tube.

    Not a bad idea, Yosh - the robots might not get quite so drunk.

    Outer London scares me. I've never been to Mill Hill East, but I imagine it to be full of inbred banjo-players. And beyond there? The dark edges of the map where there be DRAGONS!
