What is the shortest distance on the tube?

Ever wondered what the shortest Tube journey in London is? I mean, seriously, sometimes you just need to zip across town, right? Turns out, the absolute shortest hop is just a hop – a tiny 330 yards, between Leicester Square and Covent Garden on the Piccadilly Line. I remember once, I was so late for a play, practically sprinting to Covent Garden station. That little trip felt like a lifesaver that day! It’s barely anything, you could probably walk it faster, though probably not in heels, ha!

Compare that to the longest distance, though. Wowzers, that’s a whole other ballgame! They say it’s a whopping 3.9 miles between Chalfont & Latimer and Chesham on the Metropolitan line. That’s like, a whole different world. I’ve done that journey once – my aunt lives near Chesham, and let me tell you, it felt like forever! It was a beautiful ride, I must admit, through the countryside. But still… long. So yeah, big difference between the speediest little hop and the grand tour on the Underground. Think of it next time you’re planning your trip – sometimes a seemingly short journey can be surprisingly long, or vice versa!
