Travel from Heathrow to London

 Heathrow to London Transfers

If you need to travel from Heathrow to London or vice versa you will have at least 5 options on most travelling days.  These options include rail (trains), buses, taxicabs, driving yourself (if you are returning to Heathrow and you’ve parked in the long term parking there), or getting a ride from a friend or family member.  There are a lot of taxicab firms that you can either pre-book or hire directly from the cab-stand at Heathrow; as well, there are private mini-buses, private full size buses, and city buses that can transport you from Heathrow toLondon.

London Airport Transfers

If you are travelling from London to Heathrow, your fastest and most convenient option will probably be to hire a taxicab (this option, however, will not be the cheapest available option). If you pre-book a taxicab or private car to take you from London to Heathrow, it will probably be less expensive than simply hailing a cab or hiring one from a cab-stand.

If you drive your own vehicle to Heathrow and park in the long-term parking lots there, it will cost you 17.90 GBP per day (for one to four days) or 17.20 GBP per day for stays of five days or more. Parking in long-term parking at Heathrow will cost more during peak periods; one to four days will cost 20.60 GBP per day and five days or more will cost 19.80 GBP per day.

You can also take the London Underground train to Heathrow; this will be the cheapest option but it can be difficult negotiating the escalators and steps, particularly if you’re carrying luggage. In addition, the carriages are often crowded in London.  Another option is the National Express Coach; this bus system costs slightly more than the train but it is a luxury coach complete with a bathroom. Another option is an ‘aboveground’ train called the Heathrow Connect Train that shuttles between London’s Paddington Station and Heathrow. This train is faster than the London Underground train, taking only 25 minutes between the stops at Paddington andHeathrow.  There is also an express version of the aboveground train known as the Heathrow Express Train; this train runs non-stop between Paddington and Heathrow, taking only 15 minutes each way.

Taxi to Heathrow

A taxicab from London to Heathrow will cost you anywhere from 70 to 75 GBP each way. The exact fare that you will end up paying depends on where in London you are departing from, and how heavy traffic is along the route the taxicab driver chooses. Again, it will be cheaper and more convenient to pre-book a cab than to simply hail one in the street or hire one from a cab-stand.

Travelling to and from Luton Airport

Airport Transfer to Luton Airport

If you’re travelling to and from Luton Airport (in the United Kingdom) you will find that you have several options to choose from.  Luton is easily reached using private vehicles (either your own or having a friend or family member give you a lift), hired vehicles (taxicabs, minibuses, or private cars with drivers), and coaches and buses as well as trains and tubes.

The most convenient and easiest option for travelling to and from Luton will probably be a taxicab (this won’t be the least expensive option, but the taxicab can take you and your luggage straight from your house or hotel to the airport).  One thing to remember when considering a taxicab service for your transportation to Luton Airport is that if you pre-book the service it will probably cost less than hiring a cab from a cab-stand or simply hailing a cab in the street.  A private car with driver would also be a very convenient option for travelling to Luton and this is also an option that would need to be pre-booked.

You may also need reservations for private minibuses, full-size city buses, trains, coaches, and trains.  In many instances the ‘walk in’ fare (meaning you just show up at the station with no ticket) is 3-5 times more than a pre-booked fare.

Luton Airport Transfer

If you choose to drive your own vehicle to Luton, you will probably need to park in the long stay parking lot at the terminal (this is a self-park parking lot and has a minimum stay of 5 days). You can save a large percentage off the cost of long stay parking by booking your parking in advance.

A semi-convenient way to travel to Luton is having a friend or family member drive you there. Normally, private cars that haven’t been hired are n’t allowed to park in front of the terminals so you will be need to ready to grab your luggage and get out of the vehicle fast, or your friend can park in a short stay lot (this will require a shuttle to the terminal or a walk to the terminal)

Airport Transfer Luton

There are many forms of public transport that you can use to travel to Luton, including buses, coaches, trains, and the tube.  Pre-booking or reserving these services is recommended, as pre-booking will probably save quite a bit of money on the tickets.  When pre-booking, you are also guaranteed transport; if you just show up at the station, you may or may not be able to board the train, tube, coach, or bus (this generally depends on whether or not you are travelling at peak times or during a busy season such as Christmas).

planning a trip from Paddington to Gatwick Airport

Paddington to Gatwick Airport

When you are planning a trip from Paddington to Gatwick Airport, you will find that you have several options. You can hire a taxicab, hired car with driver, or private minibus.  In addition, there are frequent departures of coaches, buses, trains, and tubes from Paddington.  Your choice will depend on how much money you want to spend and how fast you need to get to Gatwick.

The most convenient option (which will probably also be the easiest choice) is a taxicab.  This option will be the most expensive of all the options; the trade-off that makes hiring a taxicab the most convenient choice is that a taxicab can pick you and your luggage up at your home/hotel and deliver you straight to the airport.  Many of the public transport options (bus, train, tube, or coach) will stop close to the airport but perhaps not close enough if you have a lot of luggage.  Additionally, the taxi driver will often help you with your luggage whereas if you use public transport you’ll be stuck dealing with your own luggage.  This can be particularly difficult when using the tube because of the escalators and/or steps that you’ll need to negotiate.

Heathrow to Paddington

If you’re traveling from Heathrow to Paddington, your options are the same as when traveling from Paddington to Gatwick. Your choice will again be based on how much money you can afford to spend on your transportation and how quickly you need to arrive at Paddington from Heathrow.

Transfer to Paddington

If you’ve arrived at Gatwick and are considering your options for Transport to Paddington Station, your choices will include a taxicab, a hired car (with driver), a private minibus, being picked up by a friend or family member (in their private vehicle), driving your own vehicle (that you parked in the long stay lot at Gatwick upon your departure), or catching a bus, coach, train, or tube from Gatwick.  A taxicab or hired car with driver will be both the most expensive and the most convenient option, particularly if you have a lot of luggage.  The least expensive option will probably be driving your own vehicle but this also means that you’ll need to take care of your own luggage (this is also true when riding the train, coach, bus, or tube).  Since your friend or family member probably won’t be able to park in front of the terminal, this option can also be inconvenient if you have lots of luggage.

Oxford to London Transfers

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’d rather take a train, trains from Oxford to London depart from Paddington Station (in London) from 6 am to midnight on weekdays. 

Transfer in London

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.

London to Oxford Taxi

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%.

 we don't charge any of this !!!!

Airport Transfer to Cambridge

 Airport Transfer to Cambridge

If you need to travel from Luton Airport, Gatwick Airport, or Heathrow Airport to Cambridge, you have a lot of widely disparate options for your airport transfer to Cambridge. These options can include hiring a private car with driver, hiring a taxicab, driving yourself, having a friend or family member drive you, or catching one of four different types of public transport (buses, coaches, trains, or tubes).  Your choice will probably be dependent upon whether or not the speed of arrival in Cambridge is important to you, as well as how much money you wish to spend on the journey.

The most convenient and easiest method of travel from Luton, Gatwick, or Heathrow to Cambridge is probably going to be a taxicab.  Although this method of travel will be one of the most expensive options, a taxicab driver can usually pick you up at Point A (the airport) and travel directly to Point B (Cambridge) without having to stop for other passengers like a bus, train, tube or coach usually does.  In addition, a taxicab driver will probably be willing to assist you with your luggage; on most public transport, you are responsible for your own luggage and this may be problematical if you have a lot of steps, stairs, or escalators to navigate.

Transfer to Cambridge

 Your transfer to Cambridge can be by private car, public transport, a friend or family member driving you, or you driving yourself (if you've parked your personal vehicle in either the short stay or long stay parking lots at Luton, Gatwick, or Heathrow).  All of these methods of transport have specific advantages and disadvantages; for example, a taxi will probably be more convenient for you but it will also be more expensive.  Public transport will be less expensive but may not travel to exactly the stop you need or want.  Driving yourself will be the least expensive upfront option but there’s still the cost of gasoline, maintenance, wear and tear on your vehicle, and the possibility of burglary of your vehicle while it’s sitting in a long or short stay parking lot. 

London to Cambridge

You can travel from London to Cambridge using several different methods of transportation, including taxicabs, buses, trains, tubes, coaches, your personal vehicle, or the vehicle of a friend or family member.  Each method of transportation has pluses and minuses. For example, if a friend or family member takes you to Cambridge it will probably be a free or very inexpensive trip; on the other hand, they probably aren’t going to allowed to park in places that a cab, bus, or coach might be allowed to.

Transfer to Stonehenge

Stonehenge is the South west of England historic heritage and extraordinary landscape.

South west of England has got one of the world’s best heritage sites; Stonehenge is located in Salisbury within the wonderful Wiltshire countryside.  The best part of inspiring prehistoric construction of Stonehenge in a circle format is referring midsummer sunrise, midsummer sunset and mainly the moon rise from the south and setting down in the north. The Stonehenge stone circle is 320 feet in diameter got a single entrance and unsolved 56 mysterious holes around its perimeter.

The ancient stone circle site construction started in BC 2600. Mystery of how the prehistoric builders built it without any latest engineering knowledge and sophisticated tools to construct a fantastic monument like Stonehenge.

The archaeologists could not describe how it has built without any most modern technology that we use now days, or even so sophisticated equipments to construct the mighty Stonehenge monument.

Transfer to Stonehenge, prehistoric builders transferred the blue stones some weighing four tonnes each from Preseli hills in Wales to south west of England. To transfer from Preseli hills to Stonehenge, most probably they dragged through the land by using human power and animal power. Some suggested they may used the ball bearing theory or the ancient builders used basket like wicker cages to transfer the bluestone from Preseli hills to Stonehenge.

TV presenter and engineer Garry Lavin believes that the ancient builders who built Stonehenge might have used wicker basket to transfer the gigantic bluestone all the way from Wales to Stonehenge.

There is another theory from university of Exeter professor Bruce Bradley believes the transfer to Stonehenge might be done with ball bearing system. The experimental demonstration indicates that gigantic bluestone could have been transferred to Stonehenge by using ball bearing system with more or less ten oxen and may have been able to transfer the gigantic bluestone from Wales to Stonehenge up to ten miles per day, which could have been took the ancient builders roughly about two weeks to complete the transfers. The same method of technique that allows mechanical vehicles and machinery to work effortlessly in this modern day could have been used to transfer the massive standing bluestones more than 4000 years ago according to new theory.

This amazing journey covers almost 240 miles. Once the stones are transferred to Stonehenge, this stones were set up in to two circles outer ring made with Sarsen sandstone slabs and inner ring made up with smaller bluestone that transferred from Wales.
