What is the shortest distance between stations on the london underground?
Answers:
The shortest distance between stops is on the Piccadilly Line: Leicester Square and Covent Garden stations being a mere 0.16 miles. Given the need to use escalators and lifts at each end, it would be quicker to walk!

Why?
It's 180m between Charing Cross and Embankment stations
not sure, but south ealing and northfields on the piccadilly line appear pretty close to each other. hope that helps?
I think the Professor is right. Charing Cross and Embankment are virtually right next door to each other.
The shortest distance between two stations is 250 metres (0.16 miles), between Leicester Square and Covent Garden on the Piccadilly line.
Also if anyone wanted to know:
The longest distance between two stations is 6.26 km (3.89 miles), between Chalfont & Latimer and Chesham on the Metropolitan line.
Leichester Square and Charing Cross.
Less than 1cm - we're talking the map right?
prob charing x and embankment, but possibly leicester square and covent garden on the piccadilly line
The shortest distance that I know of is the one between Cannon Street an Mansion House Stations, as you can see Cannon Street Station from Mansion House stations platform and it about 3 minutes walk on the surface. Then the next nearest Station gap will be the one that's between Cannon Street & Monument Stations as yet again you can see Cannon Street station from Monument & vice versa. + the walk is about 4 minutes.
Leicester Square to Covent Garden 0.1 miles
