1. How many minutes does it take to walk from Leicester Square to Charing Cross?
2. How many minutes longer does it take to walk from Lancaster Gate to Marble Arch than to walk from Leicester Square to Charing Cross?
3. If I set out from Westminster at 5:17pm and walked directly to St James's Park Tube station, what time would I arrive?

6. I want to arrive at Regent's Park Tube station at exactly 3:5pm. What time should I leave Oxford Circus Tube station?
7. I walk from Covent Garden to Russell Square via Holborn the back to Covent Garden along the same route. If I leave Covent Garden at 5:58pm, what time will my walk end?
8. I set out from Oxford Circus at 8:9am and walk to the next Tube station. I get there at 8:21am. What is the name of that station?
9. What is the average walking time (in minutes) between pairs of adjacent stations on the Piccadilly line between South Kensington and Covent Garden?
