For both new and experienced business travellers, a trip to the capital can prove to be stressful without knowing the ins and outs of our amazing city. The key to enjoying your business trip is planning ahead and knowing how to travel.
Getting into London
London brings in travellers from all over, both regionally and globally so it’s only natural for there to be so many ways to get into the city. Our team at ComCab have listed the best ways of getting into the capital:
Airplane
If you are flying into London with a major airline, this will likely be through London Heathrow, Gatwick Airport or London Luton. Wherever you may be coming from, be sure to check any flying rules coming from your country and ensure that you know which airport you are travelling to as each airport will differ in distance from your final destination. Both Gatwick and Heathrow have fantastic travel links into the city.
Train
When travelling through mainland UK, many business travellers opt to take the train to London, and it has never been easier to do so with direct trains from across the country. One word of advice, buy a railcard! This can save you a good chunk of money on your journey and can be used in the future if you are eligible for one.
By Taxi Service
To ensure your journey is easy and stress-free, you can opt to go for private travel into the capital. ComCab offers unrivalled coverage and flexibility to London’s business community and valued private clients within the city and surrounding areas. You can find out more about ComCab’s services here.

We all know that comfort is key, but you also must ensure that your hotel is well situated for your work whilst on your business trip. As you would expect, the centre of London is bustling with hotels, and it can be hard to choose the perfect one for you. However, if you follow the following points below, it should make your experience much easier!
- Hotel amenities such as a gym and dry-cleaning services so that you look great for your meeting!
- A great business hotel will have complimentary Wi-Fi which will help you prepare and stay focused
- The location and proximity are the most important part of your trip. Ensure that your hotel is close enough to where you need to be, but also make sure there is a great local area around to explore!
