20 min walk to work - London - is it ok ?

Hi everyone,

I will start working in IB in London soon (in the City) and am starting to look for places to live.
I found somewhere I might like, but it's a 20 minutes walk from the office (22 minutes according to Google maps). Wondering if you think it's doable ?
I could also take the tube for one stop then it would be more around 13 minutes, but I wanted to live closer also to avoid spending money on the tube.

Thanks

 

London weather can be quite horrible for most part of the year, so I would still keep looking for other places. However, I know few people who enjoys to have ≈20min walk to the office as it's "refreshing" way to start your morning.

 

Take it!!

“Destiny is a gift. Some go their entire lives, living existences of quiet desperation, never learning the truth that what feels as though a burden pushing down upon their shoulders is really a sense of purpose that lifts us to greater heights. Never forget that fear is but the precursor to valor, that to strive and triumph in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero. Don’t think. Become.”
