WELCOME!

We are a group of postgraduate students in the course "MA Design Studies" at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design

Last week, we were given a short term project. Our brief was for the six of us find an issue that we care about, and create a buzz about that topic to affect positive change.

We have chosen to create a project that encourages Londoners to walk. As an alternative to using congested public transportation, walking is greener, healthier, and more cost efficient. We have created a plan, as well as a helpful tool, posted on this site, to emphasize the fact that the distance between many Zone 1 tube stops is less than 10 minutes walk apart.

This blog is to promote this campaign, the goal of which, is to promote Londoners to walk when possible instead of using the Tube. Many tube stations are less than 10 minutes apart on foot!
We have included a useful map that shows these distances.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Well done girls!! A brilliant idea. I am always trying to walk between stations, I work in Piccadilly but get off and walk from Oxford St everyday, my friends think I'm mad until they try it and realise how close it is and you get to see so much more of London!!

Where can I get a map from?? Fantastic way to stay overground this summer!

Congratulations again

Lisa

6 minutes between St Pancras and Farringdon? I wish I was that quick at walking. It is 1.3 miles so you must walk at 13 miles an hour. Or has a 1 got lost from the start of this figure? I can do it in about 15 minutes so maybe I am SO unfit.
