Lewisham has been ranked as the most stressful borough for commuting, according to new data.
The average London commute is one-third longer than the UK as a whole, according to the Trades Union Congress, while a London City Airport report shows that one in three peak-rail-hour rail travellers have to stand up.
A new study by Resume.io found Lewisham to rank as the most stressful boroughs for commuting in London, with 42.54 per cent of work journey-themed tweets displaying stress.
The team used a sentiment analysis tool to examine Twitter data and determine where travel to and from work causes the most anxiety in the UK.
