London

Just over an hour - but - I do break up my journey in the morning and get off the tube and walk part of the way through Green Park and St James Park in central London - it sets me up for the day!

An hour each way.

My last job was only an extra 10 miles each way but took an hour and 45 minutes because of traffic.

15 minute walk.

Also 2/5 office.

I'm smug because I've done the whole 2 hour each way before for extended periods - I'd prefer to move than eat up my day like that again.

Galway, Some sensual out West

45 mins roughly so 1.5 hours a day

I love it. Time to listen to music and have a general chill out.

It varies depending on where the current job is but I always try and keep my work local if possible

Shorter commute = back on the cooch sooner, ideally in time for tipping point coming on ha

Derby

I have to leave at 7.40am to get there for a 8.45am start. I normally arrive at 8.15am. It's only a 12 drive on a good day. But rush hour is a mare. If I leave later, I risk being late, and stuck in traffic jams, which boils my blood! I'd rather be early, and relaxed. Work is stressful enough.

It depends on time of day. Usually anything from 45 mins to a couple of hours. It is not every day though.

Carlisle usually

If I go in for 7 and leave at 3 about twenty minutes to half an hour each way.

If I go in for 9 and leave at 5 it's a little over an hour each way.

Although today I just looked at the rain when I woke up and decided it was a work from home day anyway 💜

About 45 minutes, thanks to the Elizabeth Line which has made the journey less insufferable.

It used to be about 30 mins each way but the traffic would bump that up. Nowadays I work from home though. Roll put of bed and onto my desk. Time taken... 30 minutes.

It can be between 35 minutes to an hour.

But I’m sat relaxed with music in my personal space so I’m happy with that 😊

I commute twice a week one is a 30 mim drive the other is a 45 minute.

The latter is usually combined with going out on the weekend so it doesn't really feel like a commute.

Now listen young Sirrah, some of us are burning the calories and maintaining our 'step count' from all the walking up and down escalators, platforms and various conduits. Not sitting at home massaging our dad bods.

45 mins each way, parking spot right outside the office so no hoofing it from a station or car park.

I don't mind it tbh, always take a coffee in the morning so it's a reasonable start to the day.

Currently takes me an hour each way, mostly due to traffic and the sudden increase in Council tree chopping that seems to be a thing in my local area lately with their bloody traffic lights 🙄
