Interactive Underground Map

tubemap.jpgI’ve been looking at a site that offers an interactive map of London, where you click a start and a finish point on a map of the capital and it works out the Tube route you should take. Handy I guess if you find map reading a struggle or the Underground map a colour coded maze but what it doesn’t do is work out the non-Underground part of your journey.

I tried putting in a number of my regular journey’s and rather than suggesting taking a bus or an overground train part of the way it only offers an estimated time to walk to the Tube stations indicated. Going from where I live in north London to Trafalgar Square would involve a 5-10 minute walk to a mainline station, a 10 minute train journey to Finsbury Park and a change to the Piccadilly Line to Leicester Square. This should take about 40-45 minutes altogether.

The Interactive Map starts my journey with a walk to Southgate Underground which it estimates at 43 minutes. Its a useful tool but if you use it don’t follow the directions to the letter.
