Travel & Where to stay

We’re so excited for you to celebrate with us! With Rutland (proudly) being the smallest county in the UK, and our wedding being on the bank holiday weekend, we strongly recommend booking your accommodation and taxi transfers well in advance to avoid disappointment. To help make your trip as smooth (and fun!) as possible, we’ve pulled together some suggestions for getting here and the best places to stay nearby.

Train

Local Train Stations

By Train from London Corby Station – Around 20 minutes by taxi to Uppingham, with fast direct trains from London St Pancras (approx. 1 hour). The easiest and most reliable option. Kettering Station – Around 25 minutes by taxi to Uppingham, with fast direct trains from London St Pancras (approx. 1 hour). Peterborough Station – Around 40 minutes by taxi, with quick direct trains from London Kings Cross (approx. 50 minutes). A good alternative, especially from north/east London. Leicester Station – Around 40 minutes by taxi, direct trains from London St Pancras (approx. 1h 10m). A larger hub with frequent services. Oakham Station – The closest station (just 10–15 minutes by taxi), but it requires a change at Kettering or Leicester. The overall journey takes longer, so it’s not always the most convenient choice.
