Flight
Airports
Bath is well connected from London. From London Heathrow (LHR), there is a direct bus option which takes just over 2 hours and runs 7 times a day. Alternatively, take the Elizabeth Line to Paddington to connect to Bath via train, ~2 hours total. If flying in from Europe, consider if there are any flights into Bristol airport (BRS) which is 30 mins from Bath.
Travel Note
London Heathrow to Bath via coach
National Express offers direct coach services from Heathrow terminals to Bath Bus Station, taking around 2 hours and 10 minutes. Single fares start from £10 when booked in advance, and the coaches provide amenities like WiFi, charging ports, and comfortable seating. This option avoids train transfers so can be easier with lots of luggage.
Train
London Heathrow Airport to Bath
Take the Elizabeth Line from Heathrow to London Paddington – it takes around 25-30 minutes, and you can simply tap in and out with contactless. The Heathrow Express is an alternative, but it’s typically more expensive for only a slightly faster journey. From Paddington, transfer to a Great Western Railway (GWR) train to Bath Spa, which takes about 1 hour 20 minutes. This leg requires a separate ticket. The Trainline app is a convenient way to check schedules and book the Paddington–Bath ticket, and you can often save money with GroupSave fares for groups of three or more.
Hotel
Abbey Hotel Bath, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
This hotel is a stones throw from the historic Abbey (aptly named). It will be centrally located for many of the events in Bath, and easy to walk to the main sights.
Hotel
The Gainsborough Bath Spa
Very near to the Roman Baths, and centrally located. They have a great high tea and a nice spa in their own right.
Hotel
The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa
A little further north of the centre of Bath, but still walkable. It will be one of the further options from the train station. Royal Crescent is peak Bridgerton vibes.
Hotel
Premier Inn Bath City Centre hotel
A known quantity, but centrally located as well. Five minute walk to the Roman Baths.
FAQs
Question
How do I RSVP?
Answer
RSVP instructions are coming with your invite. Until then, please remain calm and carry on.
Question
How do we get around Bath and to the events?
Answer
To prevent any transatlantic misunderstandings about which side of the road is correct, all Thursday and Friday events are within walking distance of central Bath. On Saturday, a shuttle from the city centre will take everyone safely to the venue.
Question
Can I swim in the Roman Baths?
Answer
It is not advised. The areas around the Baths are uneven and slippy so make good footwear choices. Despite the Werkema pedigree as lifeguards, we will not be diving in after any fallers.
Question
Got children?
Answer
The littler ones are welcome at all events. Bar staff will not be serving anyone who can’t see over the counter (UK drinking age: 18).
Question
What is the weather like in Bath in July?
Answer
Who knows! It could go either way. For those PNW-ers, climate is very similar to Seattle throughout the year. We are hoping for a pleasant, sunny weekend (75F / 22C). Thoughts and prayers to the effect appreciated. It gets cooler in the evening, and rain is always a possibility.
Question
How many Americans will be there?
Answer
Lots. Be nice. It's not their fault.
Question
Do I need pounds?
Answer
The UK is largely a cashless society. We recommend contactless cards or mobile wallets. You may need cash for the odd kebab man.
Question
What is splitting the G?
Answer
Despite the name, this is somewhat a misnomer. Splitting the G is getting the white and black line of a Guinness between the bottom of the harp and the top of the letters of the logo on your first sip.
Question
