I’ve heard the legends of having to drive to literally everywhere (e.g. drive thru banks), but I have no clue how far apart things are.

I live in suburban London where you can get to a big supermarket in 10 minutes of walking, a train station in 20 minutes and convenience stores are everywhere. You can get anywhere with bus and train in a few hours.

Can someone help a clueless British lemmyposter know how far things are in the US?

EDIT

Here are my walking distances:

  • To the nearest convenience store: 250m
  • To the nearest chain supermarket: 350m
  • To the bus stop: 310m
  • To the nearest park: 400m
  • To the nearest big supermarket: 1.3km
  • To the nearest library: 1.2km
  • To the nearest train station: 1km

Straight-line distance to Big Ben: 16km

    • Nearest market: 600m
    • Nearest big supermarket: 5.2km
    • Nearest bus stop: 5km
    • Nearest park: 1km
    • Nearest library: 1.6km
    • Nearest train station: 26km

    Having a small market so close is a massive improvement from my previous address, where the only option was a big supermarket 3.9km away.
