London to Bovington, advice from english pals appreciated - nikoda - 05-21-2009 Good afternoon all :) My wife and I are planning a few days trip to England, London, by the end of June, to see a friend of her married with an englisman, and also to play the tourist litte bit :) But I "secretely" plan to leave Madame in a very single escapade to visit the Bovington Tank Museum / Surrey. I got some usefull infos displayed on the museum web site, but i'm facing a problem to find out the way to go ! I know The Club is not a travel agency, but infos i got from the Net are little confusing to me, and i got only one day to enjoy this trip. If any members would be kind enought to advice me : Which road station would be better "suited" for this trip ? If there any company specialised with this direction ? I would be very gratefull Ps : if this is usefull : i should leave London from the northern suburb area named Enfield ( like the riffle ?) Thanks in advance !! :) +++ Nicolas pps : if by train proved to be far more better, i'm not "racist" about this mean... I just enjoy more the landscape by bus :) RE: London to Bovington, advice from english pals appreciated - Mr Grumpy - 05-23-2009 Are you sure your mean Bovington Surrey (which is south London) the only Bovington tank museum i know of is in Dorset which is a huge distance from London??? I think we need to sort this out first....:chin: RE: London to Bovington, advice from english pals appreciated - nikoda - 05-23-2009 Hi Foul :bow: Yes you are right , it is Dorset ;) Infos i got from the museum say that it should be about 2 1/2 hours journey time London to Bovington, by bus means... I hope this is right... Thanks +++ Nicolas RE: London to Bovington, advice from english pals appreciated - Antoni Chmielowski - 05-23-2009 Found these links for you Nicolas : http://www.tankmuseum.org/find_us and to get there by train : http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ Hope these help ! RE: London to Bovington, advice from english pals appreciated - nikoda - 05-23-2009 Hello Antoni Thanks for the links. I got the museum link already Is this related to a direction by highway ? : London & South East - M3/M27/A31 Bere Regis/Bovington ( i can guess for A31, but M3/M27?) I will have a close look at the other "nationalrail" link... Thank you sir !:) +++ RE: London to Bovington, advice from english pals appreciated - Mr Grumpy - 05-23-2009 nikoda Wrote:Hello AntoniUnlike France our motorways (or auto-routes) are given the letter M, so the A31 is a major road while the M3/M27 are motorways/auto-routes. ;) RE: London to Bovington, advice from english pals appreciated - Antoni Chmielowski - 05-23-2009 No problem Nicolas ! The M3 is a motorway and once you get to it you will be able to drive there ! RE: London to Bovington, advice from english pals appreciated - nikoda - 05-23-2009 aye aye sir ! Thanks for making clear... So long i didn't enjoy a very UK made fishn' chips +++ |
