Trivia: what are the two closest stations on the tube map, by foot?

[Mikey C]

If you move on from just the Underground then Forest Gate and Wanstead Park stations (Crossrail/Overground) are about 2 minutes walk apart (about 250m according to google maps)
South Tottenham and Seven Sisters are about 500m/5 minutes walk apart.
Bethnal Green (LU) is about 500m from both Bethnal Green and Cambridge Heath Overground stations - the latter is the easier and very slightly shorter route.

The 3 West Hampstead stations must be unique as 3 separate stations within such a short distance.

West India Quay, Canary Wharf DLR, Canary Wharf JLE, Heron Quays and soon to be joined by Canary Wharf Crossrail.

Paddington? Bonus of another with three stations with the same name.

Kings Cross, St Pancras, Kings Cross St Pancras?

Though yes, West Hampstead is odd. Just not unique.

The sort of thing that occurs at West Hampstead was more common in the past, but other stations built nearby by separate companies have been turned into interchanges and entrances consolidated.

I was in Bayswater last night and the walk from Bayswater Tube Station on the District and Circle Line to Queensway Tube Station on the Central Line takes literally 1 minute and maybe 100 Metres walking along the path.

These surely must be the two closest Tube stations when walking distance is taken into account.

However if you search for it, there are lots of articles that have no mention of this - they all mention Leicester Square and Covent Garden.

But this is because they are on the same line and the time it takes for the Tube Train to travel between the 2 stations is very short but the actual distance and time taken to walk between the two tube stations is far greater.

Even the articles that mention the 'Tube Walking Map' smack of lazy journalism because they only give walking distances between tube stations on the same line.

So if you look at that map the walking time between Queensway and Bayswater is Queensway to Notting Hill (8 Mins) + Notting Hill to Bayswater (10 Mins).

The new Walbrook entrance to Bank is very close to Cannon Street.
