Flight

London Heathrow Airport

International airport with direct access to London via the underground (tube). This is the most economical way to get into London. See tube information in the "Travel" tab.

Flight

London Gatwick Airport

International airport with direct access to London via the Gatwick Express. This is a train direct from the airport into Victoria Station, which is a very central tube station. Tickets can be purchased upon arrival at Gatwick Airport Station for around £20/pp. If you are flying out of Gatwick as well, purchasing a "return ticket" (round-trip) will be the most economical.

Train

London Underground ("the tube")

London's subway system is known as the Tube. It is extensive, fast and inexpensive. We recommend booking accommodation walking distance (less than 0.5 miles) from a station, which most will be anyways. Using the Citymapper app, you will be able to navigate the tube easily. As US credit cards are not contactless, you will need an Oyster card. These can be purchased from the airport or any station and work as a pay as you go system. We recommend putting on £10/day in London but you can always "top up".

Train

Overground Train

To get from London to our wedding venue (Bury St. Edmunds), the quickest and most direct route is to go from London Liverpool St Station to Stowmarket Station. It's approximately 1 hour 20 mins. The website in the "view" box below will enable you to put the details you are looking to travel and will show you the relevant departure times. Platforms will be shown on the screens at the station. To buy a ticket at any station, there will be a ticket machine clearly labelled with a touch screen. It's a simple process where you plug in your destination, choose your type and pay. You can purchase a round trip ticket on the day of.
