Every commute time on this page is the peak weekday train from the nearest usable station into central London (typically a terminus), plus a realistic drive-to-station allowance. Sorting is fastest first, so the top of the list is the shortest total door-to-London journey.
Train times move — timetables change, engineering works happen. Treat these figures as a well-researched baseline for shortlisting, then confirm current timetables with National Rail before making a decision.
