Things to do in London Ontario after the train

London, Ontario, is a university and health-care city in south-western Ontario on the Thames River, halfway between Toronto and Windsor. Start with Windsor Castle, Oxford Street and Regent Street and Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard, then the Tower of London and Tower Bridge and the British Museum. A tip from our desk: Let us know which airport and terminal - Heathrow alone has four in use - and the hotel's full postcode; London hotel names repeat across the city and the postcode sends the driver straight to the right street.

We offer tours and transfers in London Ontario as well as the train ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to take the train from Toronto to London Ontario

London is busy all year, with summer, the Christmas lights and the January sales at the peak; the M4 from Heathrow, the M23 from Gatwick and the M1 from Luton are slowest at weekday rush hours, and a Sunday evening back into town. For the train itself, spring and autumn bring the best mix of availability and fares; summer and holiday periods sell out earliest, so book the Toronto to London Ontario train as soon as your dates are fixed. Winter services run normally, with occasional weather delays on mountainous or coastal stretches.

Train, plane or bus from Toronto to London Ontario?

Weighing a flight against the train from Toronto to London Ontario? Add the time to the airport, check-in, security and the trip in from the arrival airport, and the train is typically as fast door to door and far less tiring - about 2 hours 10 minutes on board. The bus is the budget option, worth it for some travellers, slower for all. We book whichever suits you; on this route the train is our first recommendation.

Return train from London Ontario to Toronto

We book the return leg from London Ontario to Toronto just as easily, and generally on the same confirmation. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles and choose the cheaper combination for your dates. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the train from Toronto to London Ontario cost?

"How much is the train ticket from Toronto to London Ontario?" is the first question we get, and the honest answer is that it depends on when you travel and when you book. Fares open months ahead at their lowest level and rise as seats sell; peak days, holidays and the first and last departures of the day sit higher; first class and flexible tickets cost more than a fixed second-class seat. Haqqi Tours offers the current cost for your travel date shortly afterwards of receiving the form - no estimates, the actual fare.

What we do include in the price we send: the ticket itself in the class you chose, the seat reservation where the rail company requires one, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the e-ticket and answering questions before and during the journey. There are no hidden extras added at the end.

Cheapest train ticket from Toronto to London Ontario: how to pay less

The cheapest train ticket from Toronto to London Ontario is almost always the one booked earliest for an off-peak departure. Our team applies the same rules on every booking:

• Book early - fares on this route open weeks or months ahead and the lowest tiers sell first
• Travel mid-week and mid-day - Tuesday to Thursday departures after the morning rush are normally the cheapest
• Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business passengers at higher fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day, or by an hour, often halves the fare
• Ask about children's, youth and senior fares - most operators on this route discount them
• Book both directions together - a return or two singles, whichever comes out cheaper on your dates

Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest train from Toronto to London Ontario that day, and how much you would save by moving to the next one.
