About this converter
Westeros distances come from two canon yardsticks plus scaled maps. Sam Tarly says the Wall is 100 leagues long in A Storm of Swords, and Martin sets one league at 3 miles, so the Wall is 300 miles. The same math makes Deepwood Motte to Winterfell 300 miles from 100 leagues in A Dance with Dragons chapter 42. Those two anchors scale the fan maps built on The Lands of Ice and Fire collection. Business Insider then traced the show journeys: Winterfell to King Landing about 1500 miles, Littlefinger near 2000, Yara near 2000 by sea, Dany near 5000 east across Essos, Tyrion just shy of 6500 from the North to Slaver Bay. Short hops use the same Wall yardstick on Wiki maps: Castle Black to Eastwatch about 100, Winterfell to Castle Black about 120, Winterfell to Dreadfort about 250, Inn at the Crossroads to King Landing about 450, King Landing to Sunspear about 900. Canon leagues stay labeled apart from map estimates.
How to use it
Pick two journeys and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first journey, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the distance in the chosen unit. Try 1 Tyrion journey against Walls to see longest trip in Wall lengths.
Canon league figures use 1 league equals 3 miles per Martin. Map eyeball figures use the 300 mile Wall as a ruler on Lands of Ice and Fire based maps and are labeled as estimates. Show fast travel compresses these on screen.
