There are some five airports that all serve London, so you’ll be hard pushed to find an airline that doesn’t fly into England’s capital. The most well known and well used of these airports is Heathrow, which sits out on the edge of West London just inside the M25 – that’s London’s famous orbital ring road for those of you not in the know.

You can hop on the underground from the airport station, just pick up the Piccadilly Line, which is dark blue on the network maps and it will bring you right into the city centre. For a no-nonsense journey at business speed jump on the Heathrow Express and you’ll arrive in good time at Paddington Station in the centre of London. Here you can pick a connection to pretty much anywhere in London.

If you’re thinking of sailing over to England you can grab a ferry from France or Spain to the white cliffs of Dover, which is just 90 minutes from Central London. Both P&O and Sea France offer frequent services from Calais in France, whilst a number of other services such as Brittany Ferries are responsible for the routes from other French and Spanish departure points.

Of course if you fancy bringing your motor into the country from the continent then you’ll be well aware at this stage of the benefits of the Channel Tunnel. You can stick your car in one of the carriages of the Eurotunnel services running under the sea to England, and if you’re a foot passenger you can use the Eurostar to get into London Victoria in the centre of the city.
