Departing from London by Bus

FlixBus departures from London are strategically located to ensure easy access for travellers. The city boasts an impressive range of public transport options, helping you reach your departure point without hassle:

• Underground Network: London’s extensive underground rail system—commonly called the Tube—makes it simple to reach any part of the city. With 11 lines and more than 270 stations, the Tube operates throughout the day, with key routes like the Piccadilly, Jubilee, and Central lines running all night on weekends.
• Docklands Light Railway (DLR): Serving the eastern districts, the DLR is a fully automated train system connecting places like Stratford, Canary Wharf, and Greenwich. It integrates smoothly with the Tube and runs on the same fare structure, making it a useful add-on to your journey.
• City Buses: London's signature red buses are a scenic way to travel, especially for shorter distances or sightseeing. While travel times can vary due to traffic, buses operate around the clock and reach many locations the Tube doesn’t cover.
• Tramlink: If you’re based in South London, the tram service in areas like Croydon may be an efficient link to your FlixBus stop. Though limited in coverage, it’s useful if you're staying in the southern suburbs.
• Taxis: Black cabs are an iconic option for direct travel across the city. While pricier than public transport, they are ideal for groups or travellers with luggage who need a direct, door-to-door ride to the FlixBus terminal.

• On Foot: Bath’s compact layout makes walking one of the best ways to discover its sights. Most major attractions, shopping streets, and dining spots are within a short stroll of each other, allowing for a relaxed and immersive experience.
• Cycling: With designated bike lanes and rental schemes available across the city, cycling is a great way to get around while enjoying Bath’s scenic streets and parks. Ideal for short trips or a leisurely ride by the river.
