London is calling

Direct Thameslink services from Gatwick and Luton airports to major London stations, including London Bridge, Blackfriars, and St Pancras.

Historic buildings and palaces

As you'd expect from a capital city of hundreds of year's standing, London has historic buildings at every turn. Plan your visit around iconic buildings such as the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey - all open to the public.

Arts and culture

London’s galleries and museums are justly famous worldwide. The spectacular Tate Modern is just a few steps from Blackfriars station’s South Bank entrance, while across the river are Tate Britain, the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery, to name but a few.

The British Museum hosts one of the world’s great collections of antiquities, while Natural History Museum (and Science Museum next door) make learning fun.
