Hi, Two 55 year olds fly into T3 at approx 0600 on 10th Dec'15. We will have bicycles, and need to get into London with them. Actually travelling on to Shrewsbury. However, we are struggling to just exit Heathrow T3! Does anyone know, or can anyone suggest, our best options? Bikes will be fully assembled and loaded with panniers.

At the moment we have:
1: Take the internal Heathrow Connect from T3 to T5 and cycle to Hayes & Harlington Station for connection via Reading, then north.
2: Get…

In London Sept 8-15. I'm a garden designer/horticulturalist. Of course I'll visit Kew but I also want to see small gardens about the city that you find interesting. I love all gardens including home gardens and community gardens. So all of your recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone cares to join me on a garden visit, I'll greatly enjoy your company.

I know it is a fair distance (I think over 100klms) but what is the easiest and most economical way to get from Heathrow to a hotel in Southampton. We will just spend one night in the hotel before leaving on a ship from the cruise terminal. Is train travel an option? We really don't want to have to pay what seems to be a large sum (100 pounds) for a taxi/private transfer. Are there hotel coach services? Many thanks.

We would like to travel from Leicester to Glastonbury on Monday, September 7 and are having a lot of trouble finding out how to get there. I have tried National Express, and rail info and only get very confusing info or "invalid destination" error messages, etc. There must be some public transportation way to get there. Driving is not an option (unless someone wants to give us a lift!).

We will travel from Glastonbury to London on Tuesday, September 8 and info on that would be helpful as well…

Hi,

I am having a difficult time deciding what is the best option and the most economical option.
I am arriving to Luton Airport around midnight.
I plan on traveling the next day to either Cardiff Wales, or Stratford upon Avon first and then Cardiff.
Based on my research, it shows that I would need to go into London in order to take the train to either locations.

Considering that I arrive at midnight, I prefer not taking the tube to London. The National Express has buses to London for 17 GBP…

I will be staying in London on Lower Marsh, near Waterloo and Lambeth North tube stations. I need to get to:
Bradbourne Dr
Tilbrook
Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire MK7 8BJ
United Kingdom

It looks like this is probably an hour and 15-30 minutes away. I'll probably go there somewhat early in the day, and come back in the afternoon.

I have no need for a rental car the rest of the time I'm in England, so what would be the best way to get there? Taxi? Uber? Is there a train? How much should I be…

As a mexican citizen entering england it is stated that you can be there a maximum of six months without a visa.
However my question is when entering the uk will they give me six months by default in my passport?, or if i tell them i will be there for three weeks they will out 21 days in my passport?.
For example would it be possible to stay longer if my funds last and i chance my outward ticket or by saying three weeks at the border that is what they will give me?

Thankyou for any replys :)

Aiming to do the Yorkshire 3 Peaks on a weekend towards the start of October but due to 1. decreasing daylight hours 2. a couple of lazy mates, and 3. Yorkshire pubs to discover, thinkng of doing 2 peaks on the Sat and the third on the Sunday.

The challenge with this is obviously we won't start and finish at the same point.

  • Is there a usual (or just good) place to base ourselves for the Fri & Sat night to do the 3 peaks? Somewhere with a YHA/guest house etc
  • We'll have a hire car, but…
