Westminster - Travel

Westminster is one of London's biggest and most famous districts, so there is obviously no problem getting there. It is easy to get there by every single form of transport - train, bus, tube and car, and it is the launching pad for many of the River Thames boat cruises.

Rail

Westminster is served by one of London's biggest Rail stations, Victoria, which alternatively holds a Coach station which provides services and transport all over England and the Continent. Victoria, likewise, provides a train service around the country and in neighbouring counties. Their timetables are prodigious and comprehensive so you will never have any trouble getting to Westminster. Charing Cross also provides a service for Westminster but that is further inland.
