Travel Information
As it is an international gateway for air and sea traffic, travelling to Britain poses few problems. By air, travellers have a very large choice of carriers serving North America, Australasia and Europe. Coach travel is a cheap, albeit rather slow, form of transport from Europe, while travelling by train has been transformed with the advent of the Channel Tunnel – three hours from Paris to London. Travelling within Britain itself is fairly easy. There is an extensive network of roads to all parts of the country and hiring a car is often the best way of travelling around. The InterCity rail network is very efficient and the network to the smaller towns, especially around London, is good. Travelling by coach is the cheapest option; the coach network serves most areas but can be slow. If time is short, air travel is possible but expensive.
