Major infrastructure like traffic bridges over the Thames you would expect to be Govt funded or Govt organised funding (like the Tideway Tunnel) but the way everything has now been privatised nothing would surprise me any more.  It seems any deal in order to avoid the Govt having to pay because nobody wants to pay for anything in their taxes.  Nobody seems to want to be philanthropic either - and the Victorians had some great philanthropists who were only too happy to be seen to contribute to their home city.  It's definitely Mrs Thatcher's Me-Me-Me no-such-thing-as-society.  Tollbridge?

Barbara. I walk or use public transport.  Taxi drivers could give you an answer.  I expect it would depend on the time taken and that would also depend on the time of day of the appointment - with some times generally more congested than others.  They would also know different routes to take.  If you look up the Hammersmith Hospital website (www.imperial.nhs.uk) you can try and use their website including using the bigger text to see the map of routes with times.

Investigation should be made of where and why people are travelling especially to see if there are alternatives and whether they are looking at alternatives or just trying to repeat something they are used to doing.  It is much easier to get right across from West London to East London now on the Lizzie line which makes travelling East from London easier and there's also a new tunnel I haven't been through.  It's really great not to have to just use the old tube system to get to the major London train stations.  Things change! 

We still need to get more tube stations and public buildings made step-free! Please support your MP - but remember there is a lot of infrastructure which needs attention!
