Henley-Upon-Thames - Travel

Being one of Oxfordshire's more central towns, Henley is reasonably easy to get to. There is no problem journeying to the town by train because it is well connected to the London Paddington station. Several motorways and major roads either pass by or through Henley. Bus services are not all that frequent but then it is unlikely you need to take one with such easily accessible road and rail routes.

Rail
Train services from Paddington to Henley run every hour. Most of the time you have to disembark at Reading and then again at Twyford station and connect to Henley from there. There is the odd direct service from London to Henley though. There are also services from Reading although you have to change at Twyford on the way (10 or so week-days).
