Access From London

The best way to get from London to Bath Spa is by train from Paddington Station.  If you are arriving by air, you will find that there are special trains from the airport to the city (Heathrow Express to Paddington Railway Station or Gatwick Express to Victoria Station).

Heathrow Express

The Heathrow Express runs at fifteen minute intervals and takes fifteen minutes between Heathrow and Paddington Station.

Gatwick Express

The Gatwick Express runs from 06.05 to 00.50 hours at fifteen minute intervals and at hourly intervals through the night.  The trip takes approximately thirty minutes.

Unfortunately there are no direct connections from Victoria Station to Bath.  To get to Paddington Station is about a twenty minute trip via the Underground on the Circle Line.

Railway Information

On average two trains an hour run between London Paddington and Bath Spa stations from 6.00 to 24.00. For journey times and fares contact the National Rail Enquiry Line on 08457 48 49 50.  The trip normally takes between one hour and fifteen minutes and one hour and forty-five minutes.

Travelling by Car

There are car hire companies available at both airports.  Be warned, however, traffic on UK motorways is thick and fast.  If you are not used to driving on the left-hand side of the road, and have just arrived after a long flight, you may want to consider going to Bath by train (faster and safer) and renting a car there.

Should you decide to travel by car, car hire firms at the airport will be happy to provide you with directions for your trip to Bath.  The trip will take between two and three hours.

See our location map for full directions.

Coach Services

Bath is reasonably well served from London by National Express Coaches which, during the week leave about every hour for the four hour trip.  For further information including schedules and fares, click here.
