But, I'm not going to tell you about that, what I love about this station is: - the staff is so so nice, all day, every day - the train for waterloo is super convenient, in 20 minutes you're in central London - the station is surrounded by great practical shops and you can also buy magazines inside the station. Finally, when you step outside the station, there's a vintage car shop which creates a retro atmosphere, and it's nice to look at the cars while you wait for the train!

Mortlake Railway Station gets you to Waterloo in less than twenty minutes and is a life line for us…read moreworking in London's suburbs. However, the railway station is usually unstaffed and the ticket situation is quite complicated. Although Oysters are accepted en-route, there aren't the facilities to top up your Oyster card and the nearest place in which you can do so is a seven minute walk away. It's for this reason that I often end up buying a more expensive day travelcard and the strange way that the machines are laid out means that I have on a few occasions ended up buying the wrong travelcard and had to pay for another one at Waterloo. However, trains from here are pretty regular and the station even has facilities for buying glossy magazines and newspapers to read en-route.

On our recent visit to London we thought a public transit option might be a good idea using…read moreLondon's underground tube to get to Heathrow international airport. What finalized our decision was the close proximity from the London Marriott Kensington hotel to Earl's Court tube station. From the hotel shortcut to the tube station was 5-7 minutes as we pulled our 24 inch luggage. Pros: * 45 minutes from Earl's Court to Heathrow terminals 2 & 3 * easy payment system by tapping your contactless credit card at the turnstile * 2.10 English pounds meant $2.72 USD. That's a huge incentive to take the tube. Cons: * there should be more emphasis on the need to take the lift to the Piccadilly line located down on platform 6. There is a sign around the corner that says it's 83 steps assuming you want to take the stairs. Not with a 24 inch luggage you don't.

Anyway, the station isn't too bad, and they do happen to have trains coming through here regular, as they do. Mind you, I suspect that the separate stations no doubt go back to the days of privatised rail.

If you look closely a the Tube map, you'll see that the Piccadilly Line does NOT stop here. Sadly, no step-free access here, but they do have ticket vending machines and Oyster card readers.

So that is already a plus, no need for the Heathrow Express or the Elizabeth Line. You have access to Cromwell Road for a short stroll to the Natural History Museum & the V&A. Stores in Kensington, north to Kensington High Street, Notting Hill is walkable, you can head west to Richmond etc. The station is also completely accessible, where you do not have any steps from platform to street, which not every station can say. Right outside of the station are a few fast food stores and pubs. That side of Cromwell is not particularly lovely, but when you cross you can feel that it is more residential and less commercial. With the Piccadilly & District Lines together, you can navigate to many areas of the city. I liked staying near Earl's Court and preferred it to the more Eastern parts of the city near Tower Bridge or Shoreditch.
