How it works

Walking runs on a 150 m grid where water blocks the way and only bridges and foot tunnels cross it. Tube, train, tram and bus rides follow the real TfL stop sequences with typical waits and speeds; driving uses daytime speeds that slow towards the centre, plus parking. With By foot unticked, walking is limited to 20 minutes to or from a stop. Times are estimates, not live journey plans.
