London to Southampton

[fluffyscruffy]

First time in London and first time cruising from Southampton.  Looking for suggestions on how to get to the cruise port from a London hotel.

Approx location of your hotel ?

Number in your party? And any kids? Or mobility issues?

And date (particularly which day-of-the-week) of travel down to Southampton, and is it the same as your sailing day ?

They all have a bearing on what form of travel is best

OP: your question is frequently asked here.  Your choices include: a private car service, the train, and the bus ("coach" in the UK), the last two also likely to require you to take cabs from your London hotel to the train/bus, and then from the train/bus to your hotel in Southampton (or to the pier if arriving the day of sailing).  Obviously, as John Bull says, a number of factors will go into your decision -- including how much you want to spend, the size of your party, and your ability and/or desire to handle your luggage on public transportation.

We used Smiths for Airports to get from our hotel near Victoria Station to Southampton cruise port.

Highly recommended and value for money,  without any hassle --

We're taking National Express (bus) for our cruise in May.  27 pounds for 2 people from Heathrow.  You can also catch the National Express bus at Victoria Station in London to Southampton.
