Joking aside before the jubilee line went to Canary Wharf (out in the East of London) I used to work there as a contractor. A new guy from Glasgow[1] got hired and for the first couple of weeks while he found a place in London he commuted by plane from Glasgow every day. He got a place in West London. He found it had been quicker each way to fly than to get from West to East London, and of course the coat of living in London is way higher so the difference would have more than paid for the flights if he had stayed. It’s no longer the case as there is a tube the whole way. [1] in Scotland, the opposite side of the UK.
