nine mins to London Bridge

Yes, even in the 70s, and probably even through to the mid-late 80s, it was 9 minutes on the fast train to London Bridge and it went on to Charing Cross in another 5 minutes.

People who I'd be showing flats (on Dartmouth Road) to used to ask me if it was near a tube station, and I'd say that they could walk to the station and get off a train at London Bridge in the time it would take to get go from the ticket hall to the platform in some tube stations.
