Shortest distance between two tube stops?

[cybertect]

There's at least 400m of clear track between the end of the Royal Oak platform and platform at Paddington that pokes out under Bishops' Bridge Road.

There's no way it's less than 260m.

Dunno the distance, but Canada Water to Rotherhithe would have been my guess.

You can see the platform at Rotherhithe from Canada Water platform - can't be much more than 100m away.

yup, that's what I would have said. You can practically jump from one platform to the other!

I can't find a more authoritative source than Wikipedia at the moment, but it is certainly more than 250 metres.

Canada Water was built 550 metres from Surrey Quays and 320 metres from Rotherhithe

There was a big row because the original proposals for phase 1 of the East London line extensions would have closed Rotherhithe and Wapping stations. There was idle talk about a new northern entrance to Canada Water station to serve Rotherhithe - but AFAIK no plans were actually drawn up. More info here
