We Raced Across London Three Different Ways

0:00 What is the fastest way of crossing London as a commute?

0:04 Today, I've enlisted the help of two friends to finally get the answer.

0:07 Hi, I'm Matt.

0:08 And I'm Tom.

0:09 [music]

0:11 Hi.

0:10 Hi.

0:11 [laughter]

0:13 For a long time, Chisik in West London

0:14 to Spittlefields in East London was my regular commute.

0:17 According to Google Maps,

0:18 it should take roughly the same amount of time by tube,

0:21 by car, or [music] by ebike.

0:23 But this is London.

0:25 Oh, no.

0:26 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

0:30 Oh my god.

0:31 Oh, please.

0:31 Directions.

0:32 Come on.

0:34 Go, go, go, go, go.

0:36 So, this could truly be anyone's game.

0:38 The [music] first one to reach the 10 bells pub in Spittlefields

0:41 is officially the winner and must buy everyone else a pint.

0:44 So, without further ado, on your mark, get set, go.

0:51 Are you okay?

0:51 Yeah, I'm fine.

0:52 That really hurt me.

0:53 Oh, straighten my collarbone.

0:55 [music] [music]

1:15 All [music] right, I parked my bike up.

1:16 It's London after all.

1:17 Got to lock this thing.

1:18 Even in Chisik, I started off sprinting, but actually this is a half mile jog.

1:23 Going to explain the strategy.

1:25 When I get on the train, I don't need my breath.

1:30 And I didn't consider when I parked that I have to turn around as well.

1:34 Also, I'm going to put the pack into sport mode.

1:37 Oh, do I?

1:39 Or do Come on.

1:40 Directions.

1:41 Phone functionality is being initialized.

1:45 Come on.

1:46 Not far.

1:47 I'm in a rush, so I'm going to make a guess.

1:50 Oh god, there he goes.

1:51 Bye, Evan.

1:52 Oh, he's already ahead of me.

1:53 My phone's not connected to the car yet,

1:56 so I'm going to go this way and use my brain for some of this.

2:02 [music] A leisurely pace or leisurely if you're an American.

2:13 Now, this is a very scary road,

2:14 but luckily they have this as a shared pedestrian and cycle

2:20 pathway cuz this right here [music] is a dual carriageway.

2:24 Dual carriageways in London don't have

2:25 the like really high speeds because it's London,

2:28 but it is still classed as a dual carriageway.

2:33 Matt genuinely has such a head start.

2:35 [music] And because we're going from west to east,

2:36 I'm assuming Matt is probably going to be taking the ring road.

2:40 I've never driven a car in London.

2:43 Oh, please.

2:44 Directions.

2:45 Come on.

2:45 [laughter] Yes.

2:50 Start.

2:57 Oh, it's saying turn around to go back the other way.

3:01 Really?

3:04 Oh, it really is.

3:07 My helmet.

3:08 Oh.

3:08 Oh my god.

3:10 I forgot my helmet.

3:11 There's a pit stop.

3:12 We got the helmet.

3:13 It's all fine.

3:15 All right.

3:17 [music] Okay.

3:24 Decision time.

3:26 Yeah.

3:27 Picking the other line.

3:27 Okay.

3:28 Let's go.

3:33 No.

3:34 Arts bridge.

3:34 Picking your line.

3:35 One minute.

3:35 This way.

3:41 [music] Go, go, go, go, go.

3:48 [music] [music] Well, here we are.

3:55 We are 5 minutes into the race and I'm already stuck in traffic.

3:59 I didn't have the forought to look at the directions beforehand,

4:03 so I've already gone the wrong way.

4:06 I had the forethought to load them up and be ready to go,

4:09 but I didn't look at which way I needed to go.

4:16 I'm actually going to take this shortcut here.

4:18 Oh, that car is covered in cloth.

4:21 Yeah.

4:21 See, my map was telling me to go that way, but I know this is a shortcut.

4:29 [music] Okay.

4:31 So that is the direct train that's going east.

4:36 This train is going in completely the wrong direction.

4:43 Got a reason for it.

4:48 Oh no.

4:53 [music] No.

4:54 No.

4:54 No.

4:54 No.

4:55 No.

4:55 No.

4:55 No.

4:57 Okay.

4:57 Around the roundabout.

4:59 Nearly back to the starting point.

5:01 [laughter] Oh, lovely tour of Chis Roundabout.

5:05 Thank you.

5:09 And that's where we started.

5:11 [laughter] Damn.

5:13 [music] So, I'm recovering from my mistake.

5:17 What's happening elsewhere right now is Tom

5:19 will be breathlessly running down the stairs,

5:22 hopefully having just missed the Piccadilly line.

5:25 And I'm sure Evan's just having a lovely time cycling in the sun.

5:30 Okay, the plan was take the district line a couple of stops west.

5:36 Yes.

5:36 Unfortunately, this is not the district line.

5:38 I didn't check.

5:38 This is the Piccadilli line.

5:41 I think I just lost the race.

5:45 Coming up here.

5:46 We're going to take a left.

5:47 And I think my friends, we're going to be on C9, CS9, cycleway 9.

5:51 It's going to be super safe all the way.

5:52 Not really.

5:53 This route's gonna get really difficult very early because

5:57 if you've watched my video on cycleways in London,

5:59 well, I have to cut through Kensington and Kensington

6:01 is the worst part of London for cycling.

6:03 They've made it that way so it's more dangerous and more people die.

6:06 Luckily, Chisik invested in their high road a couple

6:08 years ago and now it's a beautiful mecca of cycling.

6:11 You'll see.

6:12 I live in East London now,

6:13 so I had to cycle to West London to start the competition.

6:16 So, I'm honestly already a bit exhausted.

6:22 Oh, there we go.

6:22 blinking yellow.

6:23 I call them yellow.

6:25 Most Brits call them Amber.

6:26 My girlfriend calls it an orange light.

6:28 And I think that's the only one that's wrong.

6:32 That is a beautiful dog.

6:33 Matt's not seen any cute boys, has he?

6:36 Okay, Princess Avenue, the road we started down, is right here.

6:42 I could have come out of that 5 minutes ago.

6:44 Just at the end of this road,

6:46 we've got Actton Town Station where Tom will have just got on a train.

6:54 He will be slipping through the middle of London,

6:58 calmly enjoying the views through the window before the train goes underground.

7:07 All right, that was a mistake.

7:09 That That was quite a big mistake.

7:10 The Elizabeth line route, I think, is closed off to me now.

7:14 5 minutes eastbound, one minute.

7:17 I was so clever.

7:18 It was going to be great.

7:20 So that route, if that had been a District Line train,

7:24 we'd be stopping at Eling Broadway now and it would

7:26 be high speed all the way across just like so fast.

7:29 I would absolutely have won.

7:33 What actually happened is I went the wrong

7:35 way and we got to wait for this train.

7:44 So not a disaster.

7:46 This is the train that we would have got if we hadn't run to the station.

7:52 The bad news is that that puts me on par with Evan's

7:57 cycling and only just ahead of Matt's driving according to Google Maps.

8:03 The next station is Axen Tab.

8:06 Change for Piccadilly Line.

8:08 Where we started the gap between the train and the platform.

8:14 And there we have it.

8:16 connected.

8:17 Here's the separate and safe cycle way of Chisik.

8:21 Basically, it's [music] my highway.

8:25 Come on.

8:26 It's our right away.

8:31 This train goes direct to Old Gate East, which is that destination.

8:35 I could now just relax, sit on this train.

8:37 The trouble is it is like 20 stops.

8:41 So, do I jump over here to the Piccadilly line,

8:43 which is faster and skips District Line stations?

8:47 No, I don't cuz that's the Piccadilly line.

8:51 Now, here's a question.

8:52 We've just gone past Actton Town Piccadilly

8:55 line which goes straight into central London.

8:58 But I think up here is an Elizabeth line station,

9:01 the new cross rail line that goes really quickly

9:05 right through the middle of London to Liverpool Street,

9:08 which is right by the finish line.

9:10 So there is a chance that Tom's actually just

9:13 ran this whole way or got on a bus maybe.

9:17 A lot of red lights today.

9:23 Oh, this is a hazard.

9:26 When I used to live in Chisik and I had to do this commute regularly,

9:30 if I were Tom, I'd be legging it to Actton Town.

9:32 I would hop on the Piccadilly line and then I

9:35 would change at Hoben to get to the central line.

9:37 That would be my go-to.

9:38 He might have something up his sleeve.

9:40 He's really good with this type of thing.

9:41 There were times in which I thought I could be lazy

9:44 and just get on the district line from Actton Town straight there,

9:48 but that always ended up being worse because the district line is so slow,

9:51 has way too many stops.

9:52 So, there's no way Tom's taking the district line.

9:55 This is a District Line [music] train to Upminster.

10:09 [music] Let's go around another roundabout cuz I've gone the wrong way again.

10:17 I think if it was me, I'd have taken the Piccadilly line.

10:23 And there's another Pigilly line train.

10:28 I wonder I'm wondering if Tom might find it

10:30 easier to take the train up to act in mainline,

10:33 take the Elizabeth line, and that can speedily get him somewhere.

10:38 Apparently, I could have changed a little common where we were.

10:44 What went wrong is that I panicked.

10:46 Plan was go westbound on the District Line and change to the Elizabeth line,

10:53 which is just fast through London.

10:54 Good plan.

10:55 Would have saved 5 10 minutes would have almost certainly put me in the lead.

10:59 Unfortunately, I saw a train going the right way.

11:01 I got on it.

11:02 It was the wrong one.

11:03 It was Piccadilly line.

11:04 So, I'm like, "Okay, that's a blunder.

11:05 I'll just have to get on the district lid.

11:08 Just head east.

11:08 Do the the naive Google maps route not realizing that uh

11:13 I could have changed Elinking common could have gone district line.

11:16 Plan A was still on.

11:17 That is two unforced errors.

11:20 At this point, my only hope of winning

11:22 this as another Piccadilly line goes by even

11:24 faster than we are is that Matt hits

11:27 enormous amounts of traffic and Evan's ebike breaks.

11:30 [music] [music] Cycling ain't closed.

11:39 Oh, that sign can't stop me.

11:43 I can't read.

11:43 Oh.

11:44 Oh, forgot about that.

11:46 You might be wondering why there's a lot of green sand on the road.

11:48 Just this morning, a machine that's supposed to clean the roads,

11:51 spilled oil all over the entire cycle way.

11:54 So now there's a lot of this sand to soak up the oil.

11:59 Oh, hope that wasn't a flat tire.

12:01 That was loud as hell.

12:03 Evan doesn't really have much traffic to deal with.

12:05 He should be able to use like cycle superighways

12:08 and and logically take the shortest route, but he's on a bike.

12:11 There's any number of things that could go wrong for him.

12:14 Oh, what's happened above?

12:15 Oh, is he all right?

12:18 All right, just stop in the middle of the road.

12:21 Pigeon, doing all right so far.

12:27 Oh, we're on a bit of a hill.

12:28 I can I've got a little view of a horizon there.

12:32 Not that I can see much other than Hammersmith.

12:37 Oh god.

12:39 Oh no.

12:40 This is where Hammersmith is going to end

12:42 and I'm going to enter Kensington and Chelsea.

12:46 All right, we've got a bus blocking the whole road here.

12:50 Welcome to Kensington.

12:52 It's going to be a stressful bit, but it's all about how I react.

12:55 Just have to take it with calm.

12:56 I'm not a taxi ma'am.

12:58 Oh, the next station is Hammersmith.

13:06 Wonder if I should stop by, buy myself a meal deal.

13:12 This is Hammersmith.

13:14 So, this would have been the change point back cuz

13:17 the Piccadilly line from Actton Town would pull in at that platform.

13:21 So, if I'd have got one of the faster trains going east,

13:24 I'd have jumped over here.

13:25 And again, I I would be one train ahead.

13:27 But I've basically lost the advantage I got by running.

13:30 So, congratulations, Evan.

13:32 You got your You got your realistic simulation of a commute.

13:39 I don't know what routes the other two are going to be taking.

13:42 Matt, I think, has three options depending on how

13:44 far he wants to go around the North Circular.

13:46 If I were him, I'd go all the way up to the top and then down.

13:50 It's the right time of day for that.

13:51 But it depends on what his GPS says.

13:58 Okay, that is the wiggle of all of the local roads finished.

14:03 I'm now [music] on the A40 which goes all the way

14:06 into central London and I think it goes straight past King's Cross station.

14:11 So depending on the traffic,

14:14 I might just be on this road for the majority of the way

14:18 and [music] then just kind of turn right at the end.

14:23 16 years ago, Tom and I did a race across London.

14:27 Public transport versus car.

14:30 Our aim was different.

14:31 We were trying to get in the background of TV shots.

14:34 And back then, it was the first time I'd really driven in London.

14:37 It was so long ago that we filmed the video on tape.

14:41 I was using a London A to Z [music] to get around.

14:44 And there's been quite a few differences since then.

14:47 This time I have satnav.

14:49 I live in London and I know my way around a bit.

14:52 We've already seen how well that worked out for me.

14:54 In Tom's favor, there are more tube lines.

14:57 We've got the Elizabeth line,

14:58 but the main difference here is we have the extra contender of the bicycle.

15:04 And I would have to say bike is actually

15:06 one of the best ways of getting around London.

15:08 I'm sure he's just having a lovely time right now.

15:14 All right, get in the protected lane.

15:16 There we are.

15:16 We're fine.

15:18 Maybe it won't be so bad in Kensington because it's 2 p.m.

15:20 on a Tuesday.

15:22 in it.

15:28 Mad man.

15:30 All things considered, this part's not so bad.

15:35 That bike symbol on the road, that's what's keeping me alive.

15:38 This is where it gets dicey.

15:39 They see a cyclist in the mirror.

15:40 They want to see him go splat.

15:42 Now there's pedestrians trying to It's a green light.

15:46 This is not nice.

15:47 I don't like this.

15:48 No.

15:48 No.

15:48 Meusta.

15:49 No thank you.

15:50 Uh, no likey, no please.

15:52 This is West Kensington.

15:54 The next station is Ears Court.

15:57 West Kensington, which is about a third of the way along the route already.

16:01 So, we've probably been going about 20 minutes.

16:03 If Matt wants any hope of coming first or even second,

16:07 he needs to be off the North Circular by now.

16:09 He needs to be heading into London because the traffic

16:10 is only going to start getting worse from here.

16:12 And he's got to park.

16:14 What's funny is I've probably done about 5 miles in 20 minutes,

16:18 which is pretty quick around here.

16:20 And I now have 4.7 miles to go.

16:23 And it's going to take me about 45 minutes to do that.

16:28 Except for some very specific journeys or if you

16:32 have accessibility [music] needs or need to carry something big,

16:35 I would never recommend driving around central [music] London.

16:46 Oh my gosh.

16:47 I think I got through the difficult bit.

16:48 I think that's that's bloody High Park.

16:51 Oh, now it's about to be the nicest cycle of my life.

16:54 As soon as I turn into Hide Park, it's protected psycho ways all the way.

17:01 El's Court.

17:03 Just passed through World's Court which means we

17:05 are more or less halfway through the major

17:08 interchange through the major point where things could

17:11 gone wrong on the district line and going underground.

17:15 Timed that well didn't.

17:16 So from here subsurface lines all the way.

17:30 I wonder if I've passed Tom.

17:32 He must be past Hammer Spence by now.

17:34 All right, here we go.

17:35 And welcome, my friends, to the nicest cycle in the world, I got to say.

17:39 Here [music] we go.

17:41 C3 takes you from east to west.

17:43 You get to pass Royal Albert Hall.

17:45 Look at this beauty, mate.

17:47 I am making killer time right now.

17:48 I've got to be halfway there.

17:51 This is Kensington, exit for the Royal Albert Hall.

17:56 Past halfway.

18:01 While I still think the win is between Evan and Tom,

18:05 it's definitely Evan I'd rather be right now because he

18:09 has got a lovely cool breeze wafting over him from cycling.

18:12 I've got air con here, so I'm all right.

18:14 I might be a bit late, but I've got air con.

18:16 Tom, I'm sure, is in the sweatiest place on earth cuz

18:21 I think he's going to have to get on the central line.

18:25 Just going past Baker Street station and Madame Two Swords.

18:30 I don't think I've ever been in either.

18:34 Oh, and that's even better, this breeze.

18:36 Tom's not going to have air conditioning on the central line,

18:38 but this is all the air conditioning I need.

18:40 Oh god, swear to God, I've never had hay fever before this year.

18:43 Oh.

18:44 Oh my god, it feels like there's shards of glass in my eye.

18:47 Red light.

18:49 Oh, it's green.

18:51 [snorts] Oh, we got horse poop.

18:52 We got [music] horse poop.

18:53 That's a nice pile.

18:58 We are in the wonderful [music] 20 mph

19:01 limit part of London going through the Houston underpass.

19:06 We've got BT Tower just on our right through the side streets.

19:10 Houston station over to the left any second now.

19:15 We're three miles drive away.

19:18 Less than that as the crow flies.

19:20 We're well past halfway.

19:22 This is Clemen Square.

19:26 If I'm behind at this point, if Evan's Dots's already ahead of me,

19:30 if Matt's dot's already ahead of me,

19:31 I'm in serious trouble because from here, I'm going to get slower.

19:36 The stations get closer, there's more people getting on and off,

19:39 there's more dwell time in stations.

19:41 If I'm still in the lead, then I might have a chance.

19:48 [music] It would be slightly different this drive in a black

19:57 cab because I would be driving in the bus lanes and going

20:01 around all of this traffic which is an incentive to not

20:05 drive a personal car in London and what I agree with.

20:09 Our next landmark on this tour [music]

20:12 of Houston Road is the British Library by George.

20:19 It's bloody Buckingham Palace.

20:20 Normally this is where I'd take a pit stop, but I am competitive.

20:23 Now we're cycling alongside Green Park.

20:25 [music] Super close to Hide Park.

20:27 It's connected right in the middle.

20:28 You got Buckingham Palace.

20:29 Lovely little lake.

20:30 Oh wow.

20:33 Parliament Square, everybody.

20:35 Absolutely breathtaking [music] every time.

20:38 I think I've got this in the bag.

20:42 Westminster, exiting the Houses of Parliament.

20:50 [music] Next station is Embankment.

20:53 [music] We've made it all the way to Temple just here.

20:57 We got 1 2 3 4 5 six stations left.

21:02 That is not long.

21:09 Let's go.

21:12 [music] There is so much down to luck on this when you run it once.

21:19 It depends on which train I'm lucky enough to hit.

21:22 It depends whether Matt hits traffic or doesn't

21:25 and whether his GPS routs in the right way.

21:27 For Eban, there is basically one possible route.

21:29 This is a district line,

21:31 but it comes down to how much traffic there is,

21:33 whether he's had problems on the way.

21:35 Evan's got the most consistent commute, provided he's still on his bike.

21:47 Oh, and we're off.

21:49 Look at that big van.

21:53 And next on our sightseeing tour, we got the London Eye.

21:57 Can you believe the London Eye has only

21:59 been in [music] London since the year 2000?

22:01 It's actually built for the Millennium,

22:04 but I can't imagine the London Skyline without it.

22:13 King's Cross Station there.

22:16 This road got me past the center point and now's the point

22:20 where I'm going to start diving in further to the middle,

22:23 crossing into [music] the city of London itself.

22:27 Once we're at Canon Street, I'm in the square mile.

22:30 I'm in the city of London.

22:31 And that's kind of a big landmark for all three of us.

22:34 I hope that I'm the first one here.

22:37 Matt by this point should be most of the way towards Liverpool Street.

22:41 If he's not, he's in trouble.

22:43 Eban needs to be approaching the city of London right now.

22:47 Like, he should be seeing skyscrapers in the distance.

22:49 If not, I might still be in with a chance, but I assume he's way ahead of me.

22:55 Now, as pleasant and safe as this journey has been,

22:57 soon we [music] depart from C3, and we must go through the city.

23:01 You can see the walkie-talkie.

23:02 You can see the cheese grater.

23:04 Mate, I'm [music] so close.

23:05 I'm like 10 minutes away.

23:10 Okay, three stops.

23:14 Three stops and then a run.

23:18 It's a very easy run from Old Gate East.

23:22 Head north on Commercial Street.

23:26 There is one advantage to that blunder at the start.

23:29 That means I'm on district rather than the old gate east.

23:32 You just surface, run up some steps, run down Commercial Street, you're there.

23:36 The Elizabeth line, while it was much faster through London,

23:39 I do wish on balance I was on it,

23:42 it's two long escalators up that would either be a long wait to get up there

23:47 or an exhausting running climb and then it's

23:51 a longer run through London to get there.

23:55 So, arguably this was the correct route.

24:00 Just I wish I'd been more than one train ahead than where I am.

24:02 Between a train and a platform

24:05 coming out the other end and I've been doing just fine on this psychopath.

24:09 You got to look for it.

24:10 Ready?

24:10 The shard.

24:11 It peaks out between an old and a new part of London.

24:15 Bug in my mouth.

24:16 I wonder what's in Matt's mouth.

24:17 No.

24:18 My chances are low, but I do have something up my sleeve.

24:22 A chocolate bar [laughter] made in Egypt.

24:26 That'll be why I haven't had it before.

24:31 Not a fan.

24:34 Tom is one of the most competitive people I know.

24:38 He's probably sat on the tube stuck in a tunnel, not moving,

24:43 completely out of control, and just having to sit [laughter] there and wait.

24:48 And there's nothing he can do.

24:51 Just sit there and [laughter] just realized what I should have done

25:03 is dropped an air tag in both their pockets and just track them.

25:07 Um, but also I think if I was looking at my phone and checking their progress,

25:10 I would be so much more stressed cuz there's nothing I can do about this now.

25:15 I will sprint at the end.

25:17 I'm going to absolutely just try and peg it all the way.

25:21 Tower Hill exit for Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.

25:27 Two stops, this one included.

25:30 Wow.

25:31 Tower of London with Tower Bridge behind.

25:35 But it's now time I deviate from C3 cuz we got to get to the 10 bells.

25:40 Okay, next stop is mine.

25:42 Here's the state of play.

25:43 I've got about a 9minut walk, so about a 4minute run.

25:48 Matt needs to be parking up by now.

25:52 Evan needs to be about the same distance I

25:55 am because he's got to park up his bike.

25:56 As for me, I bestow up onto my camera operator a very nerdy pack.

26:03 I'm going to take the action cam off you.

26:05 And all I have to do is run north on Commercial Street.

26:08 There's two possible exits and then a crossroads.

26:11 And every time I surface here, I go the wrong way.

26:13 It's Commercial Street northbound.

26:15 I know what that looks like.

26:16 I've done that route.

26:23 All right.

26:24 Good luck.

26:24 Thank you.

26:25 And now we switch to POV cam.

26:32 All right.

26:33 See you.

26:58 commercial street this way.

27:03 The signage was not good enough for me and I have not gotten on it.

27:05 The drivers must hate me.

27:06 Don't worry guys, I'm going to get on my cycle lane.

27:08 Just give me one second.

27:09 Oh, I have no idea where I'm going now.

27:10 My map's all over the place.

27:11 I need to take a right here.

27:13 So, I have to cross through.

27:15 Oh, god.

27:16 All right.

27:18 Oh, now this has turned into a turning right lane, has it?

27:21 Thank you very much.

27:24 You too.

27:27 I have no idea what I'm doing here.

27:31 Oh, sorry.

27:32 Sorry.

27:32 Oh, I need to take a left immediately.

27:35 Almost there, my friends.

27:36 Almost there.

27:41 Took the wrong damn exit from the tube station, didn't I?

27:45 Fun fact, jaywalking is legal in the UK.

27:52 Okay, commercial street.

27:55 Oh, no.

27:55 No.

27:56 This way.

27:57 This way.

27:58 Should not have crossed the road every single time.

28:03 I'm coming in from the south.

28:05 Evan will be coming from the north or the west.

28:08 So,

28:09 we left.

28:10 We're probably not going to pass each other.

28:14 I'm not going to let you out cuz [clears throat] I'm in a race.

28:17 Okay, I'm on the correct road.

28:18 The pub is just round that corner.

28:21 I can almost smell it.

28:25 Oh, no.

28:27 Damn it.

28:28 I should have rested on the tube.

28:31 My cardio's nowhere near what it should be.

28:34 Come on, dig deep.

28:36 You got this.

28:39 All right, so they want me to take a left.

28:41 Oh, there it is.

28:41 There was the pub.

28:42 Oh my god, we're so close.

28:44 No, left, right, a right, left.

28:47 Welcome, my friends, to Spittlefield's Market.

28:49 Right, I need to find somewhere to park.

28:52 It's on that corner.

28:53 I can see the sign for the pub.

28:55 Control zone.

28:57 No parking Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 7:00.

29:00 Doesn't say no loading.

29:01 I can park up briefly and deliver something.

29:05 You're allowed to load.

29:07 I used to be able to run a mile easily.

29:09 The hell happened to my cardio?

29:11 Nearly there.

29:12 There's the 10 bells.

29:13 I can see the pub.

29:14 I see the pub needs to cross the road.

29:16 Will he get hit?

29:18 No.

29:19 He just slowly parks his bike.

29:21 No stress.

29:26 There we are.

29:29 [laughter] Oh my god, you did it.

29:48 Hell yeah.

29:49 [laughter] Hell yes.

29:54 Wait, my leg.

29:56 Should we wait for Matt and then have a debrief?

29:58 I think we'll have to wait for Matt.

29:59 How long do you think it's going to be?

30:01 Oh my god.

30:02 This is This is Matt.

30:06 Red route.

30:07 No stopping.

30:08 No stopping.

30:13 Loading.

30:14 It says loading.

30:15 I'm going to load.

30:16 [laughter] Move out of the way.

30:21 [laughter] Get through that door.

30:23 Is that legal parking?

30:25 No, I'm loading.

30:27 Okay, I'm through the door now.

30:28 I'm going to move the car.

30:30 [laughter] You're not That does not count, sir.

30:32 That does not count.

30:33 Do I have to park?

30:34 That does not count.

30:36 [laughter] Sir, what is that space?

30:46 Oh, I'm not allowed to park there.

30:48 I'm not allowed to park there.

30:49 It's residents only.

30:51 Resident permit holders only.

30:53 Resident permit holders [music] only.

30:54 Resident permit holders only.

30:56 Am I going the wrong way down a oneway street?

31:04 Hey, by phone.

31:06 [laughter] Sorry, we got you uh got your beer.

31:18 I'm really good at and now I'm going to pay for parking.

31:23 [laughter] I take a left.

31:33 I take a right.

31:33 I take a right.

31:36 Tom is in front of me.

31:37 He's in the 10 bells.

31:40 He's whooped my ass.

31:43 Yeah.

31:42 How long were you in there, Tom?

31:45 I was in there for somewhere between 5 or 10 minutes before.

31:49 Wow.

31:50 The Yeah.

31:53 Wow.

31:52 Spoke to me.

31:53 So, the big question is, what's the prize?

31:56 Tom is going to buy all of us a pipe.

32:07 Can't believe you took the district line.

32:09 Cheers.

32:10 Thanks for joining me.

32:11 Uh, congratulations, Tom.

32:12 Thank you.

32:13 Thank you for buying.

32:14 You gave me easy mode and I still nearly screwed it up.

32:18 But you didn't in the end of the day.

32:21 Are we on commercial street?

32:22 Yes.

32:23 Oh, [laughter] yes.

32:23 That's it.

32:24 Oh, you run off and you end up in Limehouse going,

32:28 "Wait, no, this isn't Spittlefield." Mistake number two.

32:31 Mistake number three, technically.

32:33 Oh, yeah.

32:34 Yeah.

32:34 Number four was [laughter]
