Trains from London to Edinburgh

About the London to Edinburgh train

Edinburgh Waverley lies in the valley between the Old Town on its ridge and the New Town's Georgian grid, with Princes Street along its north side and the castle above to the west. You climb out of the station by ramp or steps and are in the city immediately; the Royal Mile is uphill to the south and the shops of Princes Street are at street level to the north. Trams and buses run from Princes Street, and the airport is to the west, at the distance shown for the hotels on this page. King's Cross is the London departure point, on the Euston Road next to St Pancras, with the metro beneath. The booking asks for a date and the number of passengers, and the results show the times and fares for that day. Edinburgh to London is not linked as a page here, so run it as its own search for the way back. Edinburgh is a hilly city of stone, where the wind off the Firth of Forth is part of the experience and a coat belongs in the bag in any month. The hotels under Where to stay in Edinburgh are a sample from the catalogue, and the United Kingdom eSIM plans linked here will matter to visitors from abroad more than to this domestic trip.
