On your travels, you’ll make your way from the busy urban landscape of London and then enter the Thames Valley, offering glimpses of the rolling fields, market towns, villages, and everything quintessentially English, before approaching Oxford.

London Paddington is a station in the centre of London, between Notting Hill and Marylebone, near Hyde Park.

When it comes to public transport, the station is near bus routes and is connected to the Circle, District, Bakerloo, and Hammersmith & City lines on the London Underground, so it’s easy to get to.

Arriving in Oxford is a simple experience. Known romantically as ‘The City of Dreaming Spires’ for its world-famous university, Oxford Train Station is only a short twenty-minute walk from what you might call ‘classic’ Oxford—places like the Ashmolean Museum, Trinity College, Radcliffe Camera, and the Bodleian Library.
There’s still tons to do outside of the stuffy libraries and the hallowed halls of academia, though. Oxford has tons of old pubs, like The Bear Inn, which dates all the way back to 1242, or The Crown, which was frequented by none other than William Shakespeare.
Oxford Train Station is well-connected to London and other nearby regions, such as services running to Reading, Banbury, and Swindon. Oxford's three leading train operators are Chiltern Railways, CrossCountry, and Great Western Railway.
