Smooth, calm, and ran to time, but a bit cold!

Liked the punctuality of the rutes and cleanliness of the buses. Nothing to dislike!

National Express London Oxford recent customer reviews

I was supposed to leave Oxford for London at 7.10 pm coach .However, I was able to come on 4.40 pm coach as it was getting colder and colder in Oxford .I really appreciate the driver ☺️

It wa shard to organize this from Canada - the website didn't mention that any bus time could be used which resulted in us purchasing 2 additional and unneeded tickets. We couldn't contact the company for a refund. Don't buy in advance - it's more expensive and limiting.

The staff was incredibly rude to me from start to finish. Our driver on the departing trip was condescending, and also accepted a PDF of our ticket - something the staff in Oxford on our return trip refused to accept. I am not from the UK and don’t have a cell phone plan and was therefore unable to access my email. The wifi wasn’t working either but he refused to help or offer alternative solutions - even though the National Express office was a few feet away and his colleague ultimately suggested we try and print our tickets there, with only 3 minutes left before the bus was scheduled to leave. When we finally returned to London, the driver rudely yelled at me across the sidewalk (after I’d already left the bus) that I had pushed another customer. Not only was this a complete lie, but he had no right to scold me like I was a child. The entire experience from start to finish was incredibly rude, unprofessional and generally unacceptable customer service. I’ll never be using your service again.

Megabus London Oxford recent customer reviews

Booked a trip from Marble Arch to Oxford in the morning but when arrived at the bus station there was a notice saying that the bus was not operating from this station. I was nowhere near the station that they were operating from so could not make my trip. Extremely disappointed, especially after outlaying £92. Not happy!

Was not clear Where the starting point was. Also we booked on line but not sure If that was same price As just meeting at stop

Quick, cheap efficient service. Good to have option if online or onboard booking.

How to Travel From London to Oxford by Train, Bus, and Car

coach travel london to oxford

TripSavvy / Taylor McIntyre 

The University of Oxford is famous as one of the most prestigious schools in the world, but the town itself has much more to offer than just this 12th-century college. Oxford is one of the most popular towns to visit from London, since they're separated by less than 60 miles and are easily connected by bus and train. This quaint city makes a great day trip if you need a break from the hectic grind of London, offering visitors another look into English life outside of its largest and capital city.

The train is the most convenient method of transportation from London to Oxford, but this can get pricey unless you buy tickets in advance. The bus takes a little longer, but it's still a quick ride and brings you from city center to city center at an affordable price. It's also a quick drive, but you're better off taking public transit rather than dealing with London traffic and parking.

What Is the Cheapest Way to Get From London to Oxford?

The bus is the cheapest way to get from London to Oxford, with service available via National Express or Oxford Tube starting at roughly $7. Buses leave from both companies all throughout the day, always starting at Victoria Station and arriving in Oxford at Gloucester Green Station. It's recommended to buy tickets online in advance, guaranteeing you a seat on the bus you want. However, tickets can also be purchased directly from the driver and buses leave so frequently that you shouldn't have a problem finding a seat.

What Is the Fastest Way to Get From London to Oxford?

For just a few pounds more than the bus, you can catch a train from Paddington or Marylebone stations in London to Oxford Station. Most travelers would consider the train a more comfortable option than the bus, and it also gets you into Oxford in just under an hour—about 40 minutes faster than the bus. Fares start at roughly $13 for a one-way ticket but get more expensive as the travel date gets closer and tickets sell out, so it pays to make reservations in advance (last-minute tickets usually cost $35 or more). If you're flexible with your travel date and time, look around at different times of the day and a day before and after as well. Trains depart to Oxford about every 15 minutes, so flexibility is crucial for finding the best deals.

How Long Does It Take to Drive?

If you have your own car, driving from London to Oxford takes about an hour and a half in ideal conditions. However, with all of the traffic in London, it can often be much longer. The drive between London and Oxford is a popular commuter route, and rush hour time is especially difficult. Unless you plan on road tripping through other parts of Britain after Oxford, driving yourself isn't likely worth the headache of having your own vehicle. Parking in London and Oxford is expensive and complicated, and you'll also have to pay tolls on this relatively short drive. Oxford is small enough to explore on foot, and you'll be happier if you stick to the train or bus.

When Is the Best Time to Travel to Oxford?

If you're looking for ideal weather, the summer months are without a doubt the best time to visit Oxford. From June to August, expect sunny days and comfortably warm temperatures, perfect for walking around and exploring all that the town has to offer. The summer months are also, unsurprisingly, the high season. The city will be much more crowded with visitors and hotel rooms are more likely to be booked if you plan on spending the night. Winter is cold, windy, and wet, but because of the temperate climate, snow is uncommon. April and May are also a great time to visit, not only because the weather is finally beginning to warm up but because the city hosts all types of events in the spring—such as the Oxford Jazz Festival, Wood Festival, English Music Festival, Chocolate Festival, Oxfordshire Artweeks, and Dorchester-on-Thames Festival.

What Is There to Do in Oxford?

Oxford is a town full of old English charm, perfect for a day trip from London or a relaxing weekend out of the big city. This fascinating city is home to the world's oldest English language university, and many of the colleges are open to the public or offer tours of their historic buildings. Oxford also has one of the world's oldest public museums, the Ashmolean , which is free to enter. Stop for a pint at one of the city's atmospheric pubs, like the Turf Tavern or the Eagle and Child Pub—once frequented by writers such as Tolkein and C.S. Lewis. Fans of the Harry Potter series will come across sites all over the city used in the films, and a Harry Potter walking tour is the best way to find them all.

Go shopping in London.

London’s rich history, iconic landmarks and vibrant culture lend themselves to unique souvenirs that encapsulate the dynamic city’s essence. When a fridge magnet just won’t cut it, here are 10 ideas for London-themed mementos that you can bring home to remind you of your trip.

The city’s iconic mode of transportation.

A Double-Decker Bus Model

Red London buses are one of the most ubiquitous images of public transport worldwide. A miniature replica of the classic double-decker bus, like the one you can purchase at the London Transport Museum gift shop, is a great keepsake for little ones expecting a souvenir.

Union Jack Merchandise

The Union Jack, the national flag of the United Kingdom, is an enduring symbol of British pride. For a touch of British flair, look for items such as tote bags, mugs and cushions adorned with the vibrant red, white and blue designs. The iconic Harrods store , celebrating its 175th anniversary this year, is an excellent spot to pick up fun Union Jack-emblazoned souvenirs with quirky illustrations of London landmarks.

Take some tea home.

Exactly when to see the worm moon eclipse set up america s total solar eclipse, another look: basketball star jeremy lin suspended over blood treatment.

Tea and Accessories

Bring a taste of British tradition home with a selection of fine teas or elegant teaware. Opt for a box of classic English breakfast tea or explore blends from famous local tea houses like Whittard of Chelsea . You could even treat yourself to a beautifully crafted teapot or tea set from beloved luxury homeware brand Wedgwood .

Remember where memories were made.

A London Underground Map

The London Underground map isn’t just a navigational tool; it is also an iconic emblem of design. You’ll find it on posters, notebooks or even clothing, but a framed print would make a colorful wall hanging for a home office or study. Head back to the London Transport Museum to not only learn about the history of getting around the city but to score a few maps as well.

Keep your gift giving elementary.

Sherlock Holmes Memorabilia

For fans of detective stories, Sherlock Holmes mementos are a must. Look for magnifying glasses, pipes or classic novels featuring the celebrity sleuth. Baker Street, the fictional home of author Arthur Conan Doyle’s famed character and the official location of the Sherlock Holmes Museum, is also where to go to find items with the private eye’s likeness.

Cuddle up with something cute.

A Paddington Bear

The heartwarming story of Paddington Bear has traveled well beyond the U.K. since Michael Bond’s first book back in 1958, thanks in large part to the 2014 Paddington movie and a 2017 sequel that have been wildly popular with children and adults. Make a pit stop at Paddington Station (you can even take walking tours of the area) and pick up a cuddly keepsake of Britain’s best-loved bear from the themed gift store.

Royal Family Keepsakes

No London souvenir shopping list would be complete without a mention of the Royal Family , and there’s no shortage of regal memorabilia to bring home. Combine shopping and sightseeing with a trip to the Buckingham Palace Shop . Commemorative plates, mugs and figurines make for elegant and timeless gifts.

Gillray’s Bar.

A Bottle of London Gin

Bring home a bottle of locally crafted gin from one of the city’s best distilleries, such as Sipsmith or East London Liquor Company . They usually offer tours and tastings, so you can try unique flavors and blends before choosing your favorite.

At Forbes Travel Guide Recommended London Marriott Hotel County Hall , Gillray’s Bar boasts an impressive selection of more than 100 gins, including its own Gillray’s Gin. The bar also spotlights a “gin of the month” and hosts masterclass tasting events .

A Cookbook from Your Favorite London Restaurant

London’s dining scene is vibrant, diverse and innovative. Consider an unconventional souvenir: a cookbook to remember your favorite dining spot or London-based chef. If you have experienced the excellence of Dinner by Heston Blumenthal at the Five-Star Mandarin Oriental, Hyde Park, London , why not pick up one of Blumenthal’s cookbooks to re-create the culinary magic at home?

Bring back a British Museum memento.

A Museum or Gallery Print

The city is home to some of the world’s most awe-inspiring museums and galleries, including the National Portrait Gallery , the Victoria & Albert Museum and the legendary British Museum. Most of the gift shops at these attractions have one-of-a-kind tokens, such as jewelry, homewares and accessories. If you’ve visited an exhibition you particularly enjoyed, purchase a poster or a print that you can frame and hang at home.

  • All you need to know about April train strikes

Tube drivers to strike in April and May - Aslef

Will the strike affect rail services?

Aslef also announced train driver strikes at 16 rail companies.

One of the train strike days - 8 April - coincides with the planned Tube strikes.

Aslef said the 8 April train strike would impact c2c, Greater Anglia, GTR Great Northern Thameslink, Southeastern, Southern/Gatwick Express, South Western Railway main line and depot drivers, and SWR Island Line.

What will be the impact?

When Aslef go out on a Tube strike, there is significant disruption as many drivers will not go to work. Sometimes no Tube lines can run at all.

On previous strike days Tube lines have been shut down, with commuters turning to buses, bicycles, trams, or working from home.

Is the mayoral election voting day impacted?

Voting for the mayoral election runs from between 07:00 BST and 22:00 on Thursday 2 May.

The strikes do not coincide with election day.

Why is the union striking?

Finn Brennan, of Aslef, said the action was part of a "long-running dispute" over working conditions.

Mr Brennan said: "Despite a previous commitment to withdraw plans for massive changes to drivers' working conditions, London Underground management has established a full-time team of managers preparing to impose their plans.

"They want drivers to work longer shifts, spending up to 25% more time in the cab, and to remove all current working agreements.

"It's about getting people to work harder and longer for less."

What does Transport for London say?

TfL has been approached for comment about the latest strikes.
