Travelling from Reading to London

We would be staying in Reading for 7 days, working whole day, free by 4 PM. After that, each day, we would like to visit some place in London or nearby.

What will be the best way to travel? Is a travel card good idea? Would it cover Reading also?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Panky,

Welcome to The Knowledge.

You can get services from Reading station to London Paddington every 10 minutes or so.

The service costs £12.50 return; you're not able to use a London travel card for this journey.

If you want to travel around London by tube when you reach Paddington, just head for the Underground signs when you get off the train and buy an underground ticket or travel card from the kiosks or machines.

If you'd like any extra info ring:
08457 484950.

Hope this helps.

All the best,

AIL Staff

Thanks a lot for the information!

We'll have 2 full days (weekends) at our disposal, one of which we plan to spend in Stonehenge and Salisbury. We also plan to spend few weekday evenings in London.

What is time when most of the attractions close in the evening?

Hi,

I am a prospective student of Henley Business School, University of Reading and would be travelling from London to Reading and back every weekday (for classes) from October to June.

What would be the most economical way to do the commute? I'm assuming that coach would be the cheapest, but if I do have morning classes I'm sure the train from Paddington would be faster.

Are there any monthly passes or student discounts or anything of the sort?

Any suggestions from you would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
