Rail and Train Attractions in London

With a raft of mainline termini, a dazzling international terminus and some of the UK’s most hectic stations, London is a rail enthusiast’s dream come true. With so much choice, it’s difficult to pick out highlights – but no visit to the capital would be complete without paying homage to the beautifully restored St Pancras International. The London Transport Museum in historic Covent Garden will give you a guided tour of the city’s contribution to transport innovation. And finally, for its sheer number of train movements (some 2000 a day), head to Clapham Junction in Battersea, South London to see one of Europe’s busiest stations in action.
