Travel tips

Getting here and getting around.

---

By Air

England is well connected with international flights into the key gateways of London Heathrow, London Gatwick and Manchester.

We’d also suggest you explore the regional connections that provide easy access to places outside of London. If you’re travelling from the US there are frequent daily flights from 35 US airports.

By Rail

Once in the UK, travelling by rail is a scenic and relaxing way to explore England. Most main cities and towns have well-serviced railway stations and all will connect to London.

Train travel in England tends to be cheaper when booked in advance.

The BritRail pass provides ultimate flexibility and value for money for travelling in Britain. You must purchase your BritRail pass before departing for England.

Great Western Railway (GWR) operate across the train network from London across the South West of England and Wales. You can take a comfortable overnight sleeper train from London to Penzance, waking up to the stunning views of Cornwall.
