The average journey from Gloucester to London takes between one hour and forty minutes to two hours with Great Western Railway.
As you travel East towards the UK capital, you’ll pass through the Cotswolds, and the North Wessex Downs before reaching Reading, both designated as ‘National Landscapes’, meaning they are areas of outstanding natural beauty and filled with rich sceneries of rolling green fields, ancient forests, and old country manors. As your train chugs along, you’ll notice the backdrop change from countryside to suburbs to the city of London.
Great Western Railway services include routes to the West of England and South Wales and inter-city trains to West London and the Thames Valley. It even offers a sleeper service that connects London with Penzance on the Cornish coast, a rarity for UK train operators.
Gloucester station can be found on Bruton Way between the edge of the city centre of Gloucester and Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. The station does not have a taxi rank, although it is easily accessible by public buses at the front and back of the station.
The station serves several UK rail franchises, including CrossCountry, Transport for Wales, and Great Western Railway, the latter of which runs a regular route from Gloucester to London Paddington. Other services also run regular trains to destinations like Cardiff, Southampton, and Bristol.
Six stations, Stonehouse, Stroud, Kemble, Swindon, Didcot Parkway, and Reading, separate Gloucester and London Paddington.
Nevertheless, it’s worth checking which stations you’ll be stopping at before you leave as these may change depending on the weather, faults, or building works.
If you want to buy cheap train tickets, it’s best to book early, too. If you use a Railcard you’ll also get an even bigger discount!
Once you arrive at London Padding, you’re brilliantly connected to the rest of London and the surrounding area. The station possesses its own London Underground stop via the Circle, District, Bakerloo, and Hammersmith & City lines, meaning you can travel anywhere you want to in London from Paddington.
If you need to, you can take the Heathrow Express straight from Paddington to Heathrow Airport. The station has several local bus routes nearby, too.
Paddington station is a great starting point for exploring the rest of London. First, no visit to Paddington station would be complete without visiting the fittingly named Paddington Bear Statue, the character from the Paddington Bear books and movies named after this station. Then, you can move onwards to explore the rest of the city - The Natural History Museum, Buckingham Palace, and so much more are only a few tube stops away.
