Victoria Station

by Moirads

Victoria Station: A Victorian train and tube station named after Victoria Street, not Queen Victoria. Pretty. After African time trains I was gobsmacked at how efficient British Rail is. It is the London station for the Orient Express so we got to imagine that exotic luxury as we scurried around central London to and from Victoria Station.We used this station extensively as we stayed at the Salvation Army visiting officers' quarters in Denmark Hill at less than half the price we would have paid elsewhere. I was a Salvation Army officer the first time I visited London, but I had left The Salvation Army the second time.

Coming to Britain ? From the airport (Stansted)

by sourbugger

From Sourbugger's Stansted page :The Stansted express train to London (Liverpool Street)is a disgusting rip-off at TWENTY FOUR pounds return in cattle class. (or express class as they call it).It certainly is not a sleek, aerodynamic, high-speed train either.There are now a few more journeys in the dead of night - but they are sporadic and the dreaded 'engineering works' (Oh no it doesn't) may mean you have to use a coach.It is at least clean and convenient. Some Low-cost airlines offer tickets whilst on the way to London that will give you a bit of a discount, but remember that the road links are far, far cheaper. (see other tips on Stansted page)

Tubes and Trains

by cleocat

Even though the tubes and the buses can sometimes be crowded and the tickets are far from cheap these days, it is still the best way to travel around London. You can get anywhere you want to be with a tube, train or bus. In Central London you won't have to walk more than 5 or 10 minutes before you find a tube station.Each station and each train has large tube maps available so changes of getting lost is slim and if you do get on the wrong tube you just need to get of at the next stop and get on the right train. Very easy.

The Underground

by cleocat

It is busy and stuffy in the summer but so convenient. Living in SA all my life and being subjected to bad roads, congested traffic and rude drivers I find the subway a bliss. Even if I have to hang on for dear life I can listen to my ipod or read a book without being worried about anything. The maps might look scary and you the first time you believe you will get so lost no-one would ever find you again but within a day or two it is as easy as pie. My 16 year old son says if you can read you can figure out the subway. I suppose I will get blase about it like all Londoners eventually do but at the moment it is still great fun.

Bus, Rail , plane or car?

by uglyscot

If you have the money and are short of time the best way to travel in England is to fly. For feedom to divert off on your own itinerary, renting a car can be an alternative. Rates vary from one region to another.Failing that,the National Express Bus service covers a wide network and timetable and prices can be found and bookings can be made online. Coach sevice is much cheaper than by rail.However I love travelling by train. Nowadays it is expensive but also faster, and trains seem to be running on time. Seats can be booked the day before travel and this can be necessary as some services can be fully booked. I have had to stand most of the way from London to Perth before now in summer when there are many tourists..Usually the price of a one-way ticket can cost almost the same as for a return which can be used any time within a month.Travelling by Bus allows more luggage than air. By rail...

Hydrofoil on Top of Water

by BruceDunning

In spite of the Chunnel now being the fast method, we used to take the hydrofoil across the Channel. It was exciting, even though noisy from the roar of the engines. The float gives you a sensation. You board at Dover and get to Calais

Renting a car in UK

by Bernie843

if you do rent a car, don't get one at the airport. they are far more expensive. There are many in town centres and there are some just outside the airports with transport from the airport that are much cheaper.An automatic gearbox is more expensive.Also i have discovered that if you book on .com it is usually more expensive than .co.uk???? Like europcar?

Ferry up the Thames!

by amandajayne81

We caught a Thames River Services Ferry (there were two other companies operating from the same area offering similar products for similar prices). We caught the first ferry around 10am and headed to Greenwich seeing a few more of the sights along the way (my favourite being London Bridge).Had a few hours in Greenwich and then came back. Not high speed travel but the boat people were almost like tour guides along the way and it was very relaxing. The brochure they gave us when we bought the tickets was also very informative.The return trip to Greenwich cost us 9 pounds 80 each. This allowed you to hop on and off.

Walking Walking Walking

by amandajayne81

This is an unbelievable country for walking. Everything is so close. Walking tracks are so abundant and I guess the only problem is the possibly inclement weather. We only did little (1-2hr) stints and are no where near serious walkers but I think there would be something to suit all fitness and interest levels. It is such a peaceful way to spend your time and something I would really recommend. Best of all it is FREE!

Hertz Hire Car

by amandajayne81

We wanted to see more of the countryside and in our own time. I wouldn't recommend Hertz Hire car as an easy to deal with company. Both at the pick up location (Buckingham Palace Road in London) to the drop off (Fishguard in Wales) I found the servers to be arrogant and unhelpful. Details were mixed up including the date I was to drop off. It was supposed to be 6 days later but they put the next day. I pointed this out before picking up the car and the guy supposedly changed it but didn't give me any new paperwork and then the one in Wales carried on about it to me. Just left a bit of a bad feeling about the whole thing. Mind you having a car to drive where and when we wanted was great except that to an Aussie who is used to wide open roads and free parking in most places the tiny lanes and roads were a bit scary not to mention having to pre pay for parking nearly everywhere.
