Hmm, what do you count as "downtown"?

I'd certainly agree that San Francisco is "walkier" than any other US  
city I've been to, but I don't think that on average I walk there  
nearly as much as I do in London.  In San Francisco, most walking is  
constrained to within a few blocks of Union Square (much like Henry, I  
park at either Sutter/Stockton or -- more frequently -- Fifth and  
Mission, then walk).  In London, I happily walked from The Strand to  
Oxford Street via Piccadilly Circus.  That seems to be about double  
the distance I'd normally walk in SF (say, Metreon to Sir Francis Drake:
