If you’ve ever contemplated walking to work to start your day and burn some calories rather than braving the sweaty underground, we have the tube map for you.

The graphic was created by Dr Wayne Osborne, a GP for Treated.com, and shows exactly how many calories we burn off walking between stations.

If you don’t have much time in the mornings it may not be worth your while, as journeys between stations are on average 13 minutes quicker when made on the tube.

However if you have the time and need to travel from Stockwell to Oxford Circus, for example, walking could help you burn 325 calories. That equates to nearly two bowls of porridge or 3.4 Soleros.
