The trains approach the stations stealthily by speedily; they stop abruptly and the well trained Parisians (who probably because of the Revolution, never need to be reminded to let the passengers off first) embark, or disembark, at a raid rate; then the train flies out of the station.

 rodcorp: London Tube Map with Walklines: sometimes it's quicker to walk
One of the very few weaknesses of the standard tube map is that its distortion of geography (a very successful attempt to present the different stations and lines more clearly) sometimes means that it's not clear when the tube trip is unnecessary.
Possibly, even Finchley Road to Hampstead (change twice, 9 stops) could be walked in half an hour, although what neither the standard tube map nor the A-Z map will tell you is that it's up a steep hill.
But here's a slightly altered map showing which stations are an arbitrary and as-the-crow-flies 500 metres apart from each other (there are many more stations 600, 700+ metres from each other).
