Henderson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Henderson_(baseball)) will

Oi! That's on the other side of town. How long does it take  to get there?

I'll take a Drunkard's Walk to High Barnet. Doing a nifty body swerve 
around the Harringay ladder and Cockfosters. {Too obvious John. You give 
Jim a shot and you're there for the rebound.}

Not long. I used Bing maps for my location data:

Anyhow. Since when has reality had anything to do with this game?
