Going to london from Northamptonshire (Rusdhen) what is the cheapest and easiest way ?
23 Answers
3-5 of us want to go to London to see the streets lit up and the shops around Christmas time. What is the easiest and cheapest way of doing this ?
Every year we say we will and never do as I'd need to organize it and to be honest I'm more comfortable getting a plane to a foreign country than going to central London.

But for 5 of you it may be cheaper to go by car, but if you do I'd park on the outside of London (near M25) and get the tube in- it's all part of the experience and it's easier than driving/parking the centre. The other option is National Express coaches. You could also get a taxi quote
if there at least 4 of you , get a 'group save' ticket by train.
A group save for 4 is the same price as 2 offpeak day returns. You get the tickets half price so a group save ticket for 6 is the same as the normal price for 3 and so on.
Going by car is not really a viable option as car parking and the congestion charge is so high , once you have paid tube fares as well it works out very expensive.
Another idea look around for coach trips , most places do coach trips to the Christmas lights and it is a lot cheaper than the train ,

Be wary of tube station car parks, on weekdays they will probably be full by 8am. If you haven't got an Oyster Card you'll be looking at £8.50 each for a travel card, I'd do as Ummm said, go to the station a few weeks before travel and get a price, a least the train goes straight into central London.

Can't see you doing it cheaper by car once you include parking and the congestion charge.
