Travel and Lodging

Local travel by 🚃 rail, 🚗 car, ⛵️ boat:

• 68 Middle St address, map, and 🚃🚗⛵️ directions

Airport

• ✈️ LGW Airport. London Gatwick is the better airport to fly into as it has a quick direct train connection to Brighton. Especially good for European visits.
• ✈️ LHR Airport. London Heathrow has more international connections and may be more convenient to fly into from overseas (like the U.S.).

Trains

• 🚃 From LGW airport: Go to the South Terminal which is connected to the train station where you can buy a ticket to Brighton. The train will drop you off in downtown Brighton about a 15 minute walk from the venue. It costs £10-20 for a ticket. National Rail has all the timetables and costs. Advance tickets are cheaper, but require you to take a specific train.

• 🚄🚈🚃 From the LHR airport: There are a couple of options
  • 🚄 Heathrow Express to London Paddington Station (faster ~15-20min, has wifi, pricier), OR
  • 🚈 London Underground Piccadilly line to London Hammersmith (slower ~80-90min, cheaper)
  • Then:
  • 🚈 London Underground to Victoria, THEN
  • 🚃 Train from Victoria train station to Brighton.
