Transport For London Journey Planner Review

I've found when I lived in London for a short while that its just not worth trying to drive anywhere that involved either the North or South Circular. This time of year you'll loose about a stone in weight before you get a couple of miles.

I may have been stuck in the tube a few times, but if you're travelling off-peak then it's often best to jump on the tube all walk.

So if you don't know already, we suggest the TFL website for planning your tube journey if you're going over a mile or so. If you're going less and not carrying anything, I suggest Walkit.

The TFL site is good as you can see the how long it'll take, if there's any delays, if there's no disabled access etc. You can also see micro maps of each station you'll pass through. But I'd like an overview map of where the route takes you under London. But hey, the maps they give you are pretty damn good - you just need to make sure you've got a colour printer!

I better check the TFL for a walking map. Next month I'm going to the Electric Birdcage bar in London for a night out and staying at the Travelodge Covent Garden. Let's see what the map is like ...


Well popping in the post codes is as easy as ... But it default to public transport. You have to choose "edit search options" to deselect the public transport options.

Walking it says it takes 17 minutes which is cool.
