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.
20 minute walk and 13 tube is an absolute dream... defo take it!
Take it, check if there aren’t bussed though, in many cases it’s a good backup if it rains without having to squeeze into the tube for one stop!
Take it!!
A 20 minute walk is a great way to start the morning, definitely take it if it's a nice place
