Research by the fitness firm Peloton has highlighted Londoners’ dislike of the commute.
The average Londoner commutes for an average of 38 minutes each way, in contrast with the country-wide average of 32 minutes door to door.
However, London journeys are only an average of 6 miles, under half of the distance the wider UK population travels to work.
Delays account for 22 minutes of most British commuters’ journeys.
Londoners could face tougher than usual commutes on Thursday as weather warnings for heavy rain sweep the capital.
