    Thanks to every one.The reason for asking is last year I nearly fell down an Escalator and its made me a little nervous about going on the undeground.Iam 74 and will have trolly/luggage and a camera case round my neck,so probably will take a bit longer.

    The walk may be a little quicker once someone has liberated the camera case from around your neck.
    Not a pisstake, but something you may wish to consider.

    I cannot keep it out of sight its too big.Its not just camera it other photography equipment,lens,charger,memory cards,B&W filters.Is that area a bit dodgy more than any where else in London.You have made me a little scared.

    The area is fine, but in general carrying that type of expensive equipment in full view around your neck isn't ideal...

    It's not bad Derek but like any major transport hub you need to aware of the risk of theft.

    Perhaps I should catch the tube after all.

    Bloody hell it's Euston Road, not Moss Side. I'm sure you'll be fine Derek. I'm sure you'd be safer walking than on a crowded tube.

    I have carried it for nine previous years and been ok,but that not to say it won't happen.

    Thanks again to those who have taken the trouble to reply.You might think it was a silly question to ask,but was curious to know if I COULD walk it in time to catch my train at Euston.

    Get on the Circle Line at Kings Cross and head east. It's a lovely ride to Euston Square.

    From the pavement on Euston Road outside St Panc to the pavement on Euston outside Euston station takes me just over 5 minutes. Maybe 7.

    St Pancras to Euston.I enquired how long it would take to walk between these stations.For those interested it took me Fifteen Minutes,with trolly/case and camera gear.Thanks to you all who advised.

    My record is 16min 32sec - but it wasn't exactly the shortest possible route in a straight line as I was very, very drunk.

    Rolf Harris used to be able to do this walk in under 8 minutes.

    I think he used the route to practice his 'Jake the Peg' routine, that could be why it was so quick.

    Another easy walk. Best to stick to the embankment otherwise it can get a bit messy around Blackfriars. Embankment Gardens are always very pleasant.

    10-15 mins at average pace.

    If it's you Derek and you give the impression that you may not be speedy, I'd say 15-20.

    My wife would do it in about 25.

    I thank-you.

    30 mins obviously as you're going backwards.
