Buyers are willing to pay an average of £43,000 more for homes near a tube or a train

Londoners are prepared to pay an average of £43,000 more for their homes to be within a five-minute walk of a Tube or railway station, research reveals today.
The study compared prices of homes within 500 metres of a station — equivalent to a five-minute brisk walk — with those of a similar property nearly a mile away.
