Most people in the UK (75%) live within 30 minutes travelling distance of their workplace. Only 5% take more than an hour. In London it is very different. The majority of people (56%) who work in London have to travel for more than 30 minutes with 16% travelling for over an hour.
The data, which dates from 2009, also shows that most people (71%) drove to work. Other forms of transport used to get to work included walking (10%), the bus (7%), train (5%) and cycling (3%). Again London is very different with about 35% driving to work and about half of workers use public transport (train 20%, Underground 18%, bus 12%) compared with 9% outside the capital.
About 59% of workers live and work in the same local authority district, 41% work in a different local authority district to the one they live in.
