It says that Highgate is 10 minutes away by road from Old Street. The 271 bus takes more like 40 minutes on a good morning. I don't think it could be done in 10 minutes even without traffic.
It told me that the City and some parts of London south of the river were 20 minutes away from Highgate. While I have managed to drive from Highgate to Moorgate in seven minutes, it relied on every traffic light along the way being green, it being 7am on a public holiday and a loose regard to the posted speed limit. Any other time forty minutes would be more accurate.
Were you to take the existing road times and triple them, you'd like get a more realistic circle IMO.
Yeah, the speed profiles we're using for the road travel have some inaccuracies as they don't yet account for traffic etc. We'll be putting in a separate mode for buses that will be based off more accurate TfL data, so hopefully won't see as bad a wormhole as that once that's in place!

The AA route planner gives it as 20 minutes which is optimistic http://www.theaa.com/route-planner/index.jsp#fromNode=182600...
Enfield is 20 minutes from Old Street by road? I don't think so!
