London FAQs

What is the best way to get to London from the airport?

If your clients are flying into London Heathrow Airport, it’s easy to get into London by catching the Heathrow Express direct train to Paddington Station. From here we can arrange a transfer by chauffeur to hotels right across the capital. Of course, if your clients prefer, we offer private transfers directly from the airport.

What's the best method for onward travel from London?

Discovering England by train is not only an eco-friendly way of travel but also a scenic and relaxing experience. With over 2,000 stations covering England, Scotland, and Wales, the rail network makes it easy and efficient to explore different parts of the country. As a general rule of thumb, travelling North to South is usually easier (and faster) than going East to West. Happily, for international visitors flying into London, the capital city has by far and away the greatest breadth and frequency of services.
