Between which two Central London tube stations can you walk to and from without having to cross a single road, the walk between these two stations takes around 15 minutes.( This excludes Bank station that is connected underground to other tube's via walkways.)

Kind Regards.

Some long hikes in Paddington when we went to see the bear this year, but can't think if we walked to another station.

seems to be an ungoogable answer as well as I googled it and it didn't give the answer, I know the answer as I've walked it

It's no Bank as said in the OP, Bank's excluded as it has underground walkways to Monument.

It's an over ground walk between two stations that are just over half a mile apart.

Finsbury Park and Highgate is North London.

Waterloo and Southwark

That's the same as bank, it has underground walkway connections, they're excluded.

It's a normal outdoor walk.

Should also have said that Waterloo and Southwark are actually South East Stations (SE postcodes), the answer is two stations that have two central London postcodes, i.e EC or WC.

I'll answer it in the morning if nobody gets it. Remember it's central London, north of the river, withing the EC and WC postcodes, actually I'll help you out, it's in the EC post code.

Kind Regards.

The answer is.....Barbican to Moorgate station, and vice versa.

They are roughly 0.6 miles apart, 15 minute walk or so, on completely different lines, but you can walk from station to station without crossing a single road thanks to the huge sprawling Barbican estate sandwiched in between them as you can walk along all the walkways raised above street level along the estate, or pedways as they're called. It's not an ordinary estate, full of wealthy middle classes, looks like a concrete jungle, it was also voted London's ugliest building in 2003 Laugh I only knew this when trying to find my way to the London Museum years ago, which is on the periphery of the estate, or was. But it's not really that ugly on the inside, the concrete looks high quality, it's spotless and has a stream running through it.

Here's a brief video by Jago Hazzard, has lot of good videos, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp-v9W_Iygg

Apparently, George Best at some point in time or another, lived there, as did Arthur Scargill who tried to buy his flat using Thatcher's  Right to Buy scheme Laugh couldn't make it up.

Kind Regards.

The Barbican is the setting for the Slow Horses novels by Mick Herron. The fictional Slough House purgatory is situated next to the Barbican tube station.
