Not even all of zone one...

Someone's published a map of how many steps it takes to walk between inner London tube stations:



You'd think they'd get one of the basic tourist gotchas right - it does not take 822+1,275 steps to get from Queensway to Bayswater... That route probably involves walking to Notting Hill Gate, turning round, going back past Queensway and up the road to Bayswater! I'm a bit dubious about Euston to King's Cross St Pancras being under seventy steps less than Euston Square to Kings X too, plus they're ignoring the District / Hammersmith and City version of Edgware Road, thus meaning you can't see what they reckon it would take to walk the Circle Line.

A more useful map would show the number of steps needed to make the changes at the various interchanges. Some are trivial 'cross the platform' ones, others are hikes in themselves.

Don't talk to me about changing from the Central to the Bakerloo line at Oxford Circus! Always takes way, way longer than I think.

Wow. ::goggles::

Just...wow. Someone has a lot of time. But I'm glad of it. It's really cool.
