Travel Note
Passport and Visa
If you are traveling from the United States to the United Kingdom, you will need two things: 1. A passport (please ensure it is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates). 2. An approved Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) before traveling. The application for the ETA is a quick process. We recommend applying online at least a few weeks before your trip to avoid any issues. For more information and to apply, visit the link below.
Flight
Heathrow Airport
We recommend flying into Heathrow (LHR) and then either taking a train (~1.5 hours) or a cab (45 min) to Ashridge House. Heathrow is the main airport in London and if you plan on traveling before/after the wedding, you will most likely fly in/out of Heathrow as well.
