How long does it take to get to hendon from croydon?

• by train? amount of minutes and to be specific i want to get to goldens rise whats the nearest station from there? and can i use my 11-16 oyster card?

• Answer:

  Nearest tube station to Golders Rise, NW4 (There's no Goldens Rise shown in the London A-Z) is either Brent Cross or Hendon Central. It looks like the walking distance is roughly the same from either one. Use Multimap to get a local street map then print it out if you don't have an A-Z, otherwise you'll get lost when you leave the station. Your Oyster card should be valid on the tube (I think you'd need Zone 3 for Hendon). From Croydon - and I don't know which bit of Croydon you're in - your best bet is probably getting an overground train in to London Bridge. I know they run to there from East Croydon station. I don't think you can use Oyster on them but you'd have to check - some lines let you use them, others don't. At London Bridge you can pick up the Northern line tube. Under ideal conditions, figure about 30-40 minutes in to London Bridge, change onto the tube (northbound Northern Line train going to Edgware). It's probably another 30-40 minutes on the tube. Because there might be delays or missed connections, I'd give myself at least two hours, maybe two-and-a-half, for this trip. I can't be more specific than that. Hey, I'm not TfL!
