Bury St Edmund’s Train Station
For the bride and groom’s international guests who would like to tour around London and are staying in Bury for their entire stay, you can either have a nice 15-20 minute stroll or catch a 4 minute uber/taxi ride to the Bury St. Edmunds train station from both the Angel and the Premier Inn. You can either pay for a 50/60 pound (70/80 USD) ticket there at the station ticket kiosks, or you can download the app “train line” and buy a ticket in advance. We recommend doing the app as it allows you to search for specific stations you wish to go to, as well as a list of all the times trains are running that day.
