sailing canary Posted July 18 #1 Share Posted July 18 I've posted on the sticky about getting to Southampton from LHR, but as I'm travelling later today, I'm somewhat anxious about getting a timely reply. My flight to LHR T5 has been cancelled and I'm rebooked on a much later flight which doesn't arrive until 19.15. I had booked with National Express, but I'm a bit concerned about arriving after 22.00 at Southampton Coach Station in case I can't get a taxi to my hotel. I have no intentions of walking (elderly, solo female) so really need a taxi. My other thought is to have a taxi/transfer from LHR to my hotel, but I would really value personal recommendations. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sddsddean Posted July 18 #2 Share Posted July 18 Just googled southampton minicabs...there are loads. Give them a ring before you set off to make a pre booking. Hopefully JB will come on here soon to give some local recommendations. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumshoe958 Posted July 18 #3 Share Posted July 18 As posted on the wiki, Uber operates in Southampton or - for a more relaxed arrival - consider staying the night at LHR then heading down to Southampton refreshed in the morning. The Sofitel is a very nice hotel connected directly to T5 or there are cheaper options a short bus or taxi ride away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailing canary Posted July 19 Author #5 Share Posted July 19 Thanks all - I decided the best option was Sofitel overnight and coach in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
