And then I get the tube to near the BBC and then I walk.

1:13

Nice. I walk to work.

1:15

I don't like using the tube, the underground train,

1:19

because there's so many people on it.

1:22

I prefer to get some fresh air in the morning.

1:26

Ah, you walk to work! That's interesting in London.

1:30

— Mm-hm. — Tell me about your walk to work.

1:33

Well, my walk starts with walking along some streets, towards a park,

1:40

and then I walk across a park and then I walk through some more streets,

1:46

because there is a little bit of time between the park and the office

1:52

and then I arrive at the office.

1:54

Very nice. So you don't like public transport?

1:59

Mm, I use it sometimes when there's an emergency,

2:03

like if it's raining or if I don't have time.

2:08

But, if I have time, I like to walk to work.

2:11

And how long does your journey take?

2:14

My journey takes me one hour if I walk

2:18

and 30 minutes if I take the tube.

2:21

— That's pretty good for London. — What about you?

2:24

My journey takes at least an hour, sometimes more.

2:30

And Neil, you have to get a bus and a train. What's your journey like?
