Good for Sunday Market, evening apéro / meal or just a mooch* (20 min walk).
Alternatively, the 202 bus takes you up the hill. While it's unlikely to be quicker...it does give a better view of some of the fancy houses along the way 😏
If you're interested in mid-century architecture, I can provide details of a local walking route.
The heath itself is good for picnics, dog watching, kite flying and exercise.
The legendary Tea Hut is a good spot for motorbike enthusiast.

When not in a rush, and the sun is shining, my absolute favourite way to travel into the centre of London is on the river.
