AboutEmoor Expertise I have been traveling almost annually in England or Scotland as a tourist for the last 25 years, so I know quite a bit about train travel, car rental, B&Bs, tourist discounts, standard tourist sites, good places to eat, pubs, prices, and things to do off
Question We will be spending 3 days in London prior to a cruise from Dover, England. What is the most reliable means of getting from London to Dover in September. We need to board the ship at approximately 2 Pm (1400 hrs). We do not want to rent a car
Answer The most reliable way to get to Dover is by train. Many trains each day leave both Victoria Station and Charing Cross Station, bound for Dover. The trip takes almost two hours. I suggest that a day or two ahead of time, visit one of these two stations and purchase a "single" (one-way) ticket for each traveler. For an extra pound or two, you can get a reserved seat. There is a shuttle in Dover to take you to the pier, or a taxi.
