Great guide! I’m planning a trip to London and will be arriving at Charing Cross. What’s the best way to get to Paddington if I have a lot of luggage?
Thanks! With luggage, the tube (Bakerloo line) is usually easiest as it’s direct and avoids traffic. However, if you prefer not to handle bags on stairs, check if Paddington has step-free access from the Bakerloo line; some stations have lifts. Alternatively, a taxi might be worth considering for heavy luggage.
Is there a direct bus from Charing Cross to King’s Cross? The article mentions several routes, but I’m not sure which is most reliable.
Yes, bus routes 91, 390, and 205 all go from Trafalgar Square to King’s Cross. Route 91 is often reliable and runs frequently. However, buses can be affected by traffic, so allow extra time if you’re on a schedule.
I need to get to Liverpool Street early in the morning. Are the tube and bus services running at 6 AM?
Yes, both the tube and bus services start around 5 AM on weekdays. The Bakerloo and Central lines should be running by 6 AM. Buses like route 8 also operate early. Always check TfL’s website for any planned closures or disruptions.
Walking to Waterloo via Hungerford Bridge sounds lovely. Is it safe to walk that route at night?
The Hungerford Bridge is generally safe and well-lit, with plenty of foot traffic. However, as with any city, be aware of your surroundings. It’s a popular route for commuters and tourists alike, so it’s usually busy even in the evening.
For Fenchurch Street, you suggest taking the tube to Bank and walking. Is there a direct bus?
Yes, bus route 15 from Trafalgar Square goes directly to Fenchurch Street. It takes about 30 minutes. That might be simpler if you prefer not to change trains.
Thanks for the walking times! I’m trying to decide between walking and taking the tube to Victoria. Is the walk through Buckingham Palace gardens allowed?
You’re welcome! The walk to Victoria via Buckingham Palace is along public roads and through St. James’s Park, which is open to everyone. You can walk past the palace and through the park – it’s a pleasant route and takes about 30 minutes.
