Oxford to London Transfers
If
you are traveling from Oxford to London, there are several options for your
journey. You can drive yourself, you can
catch a ride from a friend or family member, you can hire a private car, you
can hire a taxicab, you can catch a bus, or you can catch a train.
The
most convenient option is probably going to be hiring a taxicab or a private
car. This won’t be the cheapest option, but if you pre-book your taxicab or
private car rather than hiring it from a cab-stand it will probably be less
expensive. Using this option also means
that you won’t have to look for parking in London once you arrive as you would
need to do if you choose to drive your own vehicle.
The
bus service between Oxford and London runs up to every 10 minutes, 24 hours per
day. This is a very cheap way of travelling between Oxford and London, with
pre-booked fares being as low as 8.00 GBP each way (in addition to pre-booking
in advance, you will need to travel during off peak periods after 9 am daily).
There are more upscale options as well, including the X90 (previously known as
the Oxford Express). The X90 runs every
15 minutes at peak times, and costs 13 GBP one way (16 GBP round trip) for an
adult.
If
you’re not used to London traffic, the best way to get around is to use the
bus, the tube (or underground), or walk.
The bus service in London runs quite often—some buses even run 24 hours
per day--and is relatively inexpensive as well. If you have a prepaid Oyster
card, the fare will be from1.35 GBP; if you are paying cash, the fare will be
from 2.30 GBP. You can also use a
travelcard when boarding all London buses.
The
approximate fare for a one way trip from London to Oxford will be from little as 80.00 GBP. This
is a per car fee, not a per person fee, so if you are travelling with more than
one person in your party the fare can be split between all members of the
party. In addition, some London taxis
accept credit cards although there may be a surcharge of 10% to 15% over the metered
price. Tipping is not necessary, but most taxi drivers do expect a tip of
around 10%.
