I've been to Hammersmith, which is down the river from Battersea by a bit. He's just a tube ride away from where he needs to go.

It's not so much the ease, but the time involved.  I've never been to London myself, and thus have never used the Underground, but even if it's better than the New York subway, Murphy always arranges it so that you have to wait on the platform longer than you care for.  Doug's watching his precious shopping time dribble away...
