How to Getting There
|
|
Air: |
|
London is one of the most well connected cities in the
world, with its Heathrow Airport being one of the
busiest. From Heathrow, you can take the bus, the
Underground (Piccadilly line) and also the Heathrow
Express, which terminates at Paddington Station.
The Gatwick Express runs between Gatwick Airport and
Victoria Station and takes 30 minutes or you can also
take Airbus No. 5 to Victoria Coach Station. Consider a
cab only if you have serious money.

|
Rail: |
|
London is well connected from the rest of England
by trains with its ten mainline railway stations. For
cheaper tickets, book as early as possible because rates
tend to shoot sky-high if booked at the last minute. If
you are travelling from Europe, the railway companies of
Britain, France and Belgium operate a high-speed
passenger service, Eurostar, between London (Waterloo
Station), Paris, Lille and Brussels.

Road: |

Bus journeys are cheaper, if not more comfortable.
National Express is your best bet with services running
from all over the UK, comfortable coaches and great
discounts. Check www.nationalexpress.co.uk for offers.
If you are willing to sacrifice a bit on the comfort
(read: the seats would not be as cushy) try Mega Bus, a
no-frills service that offers the cheapest bus tickets
to London from major cities across the UK

Sea: |
|
France is only 29 km away from
England at the narrowest strait. A wide array of ferries
operate between England and Europe. If booked early, it
can be a cheaper, and authentic, experience.
