    Thanks to every one.The reason for asking is last year I nearly fell down an Escalator and its made me a little nervous about going on the undeground.Iam 74 and will have trolly/luggage and a camera case round my neck,so probably will take a bit longer.

    The walk may be a little quicker once someone has liberated the camera case from around your neck.
    Not a pisstake, but something you may wish to consider.

    As it is just me going there is no body to carry camera case.But thanks for advice.

    Keep it out of sight Derek!

    I cannot keep it out of sight its too big.Its not just camera it other photography equipment,lens,charger,memory cards,B&W filters.Is that area a bit dodgy more than any where else in London.You have made me a little scared.

    The area is fine, but in general carrying that type of expensive equipment in full view around your neck isn't ideal...

    It's not bad Derek but like any major transport hub you need to aware of the risk of theft.

    Perhaps I should catch the tube after all.
  • StigStig
    Bloody hell it's Euston Road, not Moss Side. I'm sure you'll be fine Derek. I'm sure you'd be safer walking than on a crowded tube.
  • Derek1952Derek1952
    I have carried it for nine previous years and been ok,but that not to say it won't happen.

    Derek......you're not a youngster anymore (I know the feeling), your'e not in anymore danger there than anywhere else really......as you can't hide it away just be a little more careful......as I am nowadays.

    Sure it will be fine and you will be safe walking tbh.

    Thanks again to those who have taken the trouble to reply.You might think it was a silly question to ask,but was curious to know if I COULD walk it in time to catch my train at Euston.
  • SoundAsa£SoundAsa£
    Let us know how you got on Derek.

    Get on the Circle Line at Kings Cross and head east. It's a lovely ride to Euston Square.

    From the pavement on Euston Road outside St Panc to the pavement on Euston outside Euston station takes me just over 5 minutes. Maybe 7.
  • Derek1952Derek1952
    Not going untill mid July but will tell how it went.

    My record is 16min 32sec - but it wasn't exactly the shortest possible route in a straight line as I was very, very drunk.

    Rolf Harris used to be able to do this walk in under 8 minutes.

    I think he used the route to practice his 'Jake the Peg' routine, that could be why it was so quick.

    Maybe he never passed a school?

    Up next, the walk from Charing Cross Station to Embankment tube.

    Another easy walk. Best to stick to the embankment otherwise it can get a bit messy around Blackfriars. Embankment Gardens are always very pleasant.

    10-15 mins at average pace.

    If it's you Derek and you give the impression that you may not be speedy, I'd say 15-20.

    My wife would do it in about 25.

    I thank-you.

    How long does it take from Euston to St Pancras btw?
  • Covered EndCovered End
    30 mins obviously as you're going backwards.
