By Rail
Scotland's capital city is just a 4 to 5 hour journey by train from the centre of London. Both National Express and Virgin Trains run regular services from most UK cities and large towns. To view timetables and book tickets, visit www.NationalRail.co.uk. Trains arrive at Edinburgh Waverley, right in the centre of the city and just a few minutes from our office on the Royal Mile (see map below)
By Car
There are two main routes in to the city from the south. The M74 travels up the west side of the UK; from here, take the M8 and follow signs for Edinburgh City Centre. Alternatively, the A1(M) will bring you in via Newcastle; follow the A1 to the City Bypass and then signs for the City Centre.
Parking is restricted in Edinburgh so we don’t recommend you bring your car in to the city. It may be useful to check parking arrangements with your accommodation provider as some Edinburgh hotels provide parking facilities. Alternatively there is covered parking at Waverley Train Station and an open air park-and-ride scheme available: see www.LothianBuses.co.uk. Edinburgh is a relatively small city and is easily accessible on foot and by public transport and taxi.
