Overview: car trip from London to Southampton

Southampton is a popular departure port for many cruise lines. If you’re flying into London for your cruise out of Southampton, a road trip will get your vacation started early. There is a distance of about 80 miles (125 km) from London to Southampton, and trade routes across land and sea have connected these cities for over 1,000 years. With Daytrip, you can make a similar journey and stop by important sites along the way.

As you leave the chaos of London, the English countryside is a welcome contrast. Before you hurry to the pier in Southampton, take the time to see southern England’s rolling hills and quaint farmhouses.

For fans of English literature, Jane Austen's House Museum sheds light on the life of the Pride and Prejudice author. This house in the small village of Chawton is where Jane Austen spent the last 8 years of her life writing most of her books. Pick up a copy of your favorite for some poolside reading later.

The party doesn’t have to start on the boat! Visit the Bombay Sapphire Distillery and see the gin-making process up close. This distillery is not only a proud part of British history, but it also incorporates modern architectural elements into the original 18th-century mill where it all started. With someone else behind the wheel, you’ll be free to enjoy a drink or two after your tour before getting back on the road.

When you arrive in Southampton, you’ll be relieved to have someone else navigating the roads, especially when the summer cruises start! Your driver will take you right to your Southampton address so the next leg of your vacation can begin. Von voyage!

About Southampton

Southampton is a small city on the south coast of England, at the mouth of the Rivers Test and Itchen. It is best known for the many cruise ships that start their voyages from its piers. Today, over 250,000 people call Southampton home, and millions more make the journey from Southampton to ports of call all over the world.

Southampton throughout history

The estuary Southampton sits on has been inhabited since the Stone Age due to its fertile soil and access to the ocean, according to archeological finds. The first written records of human settlements in Southampton date back to the Roman era, with the establishment of Clausentum in the first century AD. This site, now in modern-day Bitterne Manor, was a significant trading post and defensive stronghold on the River Itchen.

Southampton changed hands through Anglo-Saxon, Viking, and Norman conquests over the centuries due to its strategic location as a port town. While being the center of maritime trade and transportation has its economic and cultural advantages, it did come at a cost. In 1348, ships carrying the bubonic plague brought the Black Death to England, most likely through Southampton or Weymouth.

International trade continued through Southampton’s ports, which attracted all kinds of travelers. In 1620, the Mayflower and the Speedwell set sail from Southampton, carrying Pilgrims who would establish one of the first English settlements in North America.

The Industrial Revolution in Southampton

The Industrial Revolution brought significant changes in the 19th century. The arrival of the railway and the development of docks made Southampton an even larger industrial port, and it became known for its shipbuilding and maritime industries. Perhaps its best-known ship is the ill-fated RMS Titanic, which departed for New York City in 1912.

Southampton today

During World War II, the city was heavily bombed, which resulted in extensive damage. Most of the city had to be rebuilt, and this transformed Southampton into a more modern-looking city than some of its neighbors. Despite the damage, you can still find original structures, including some as far back as Medieval times.

Today, Southampton is best known for its shopping and cruise culture. With over 2.6 million visitors and 450 cruise ships docking on its shores each year, it has adapted its ports to the high demand for cruise infrastructure.

From London to Southampton: travel tips

Even though your cruise hasn’t started yet, it doesn’t mean you can’t start vacationing! Make your trip from London to Southampton a memorable and stress-free one by following these helpful tips:

Get to Southampton one day early

Don’t let a flight delay, bad weather, or a traffic accident prevent you from boarding your ship! Cruise ships have strict departure times, and if you miss it then you are out of luck. If your cruise departs from Southampton, arrive one day early to the city. This will alleviate any stress about traveling the distance from London to Southampton on the same day as your cruise.

Another good reason to follow this tip is that there is plenty to see and do during your stay in Southampton!

Book any must-sees ahead of time

If you’ll only have a short time in southern England, you don’t want to find out that the excursion you wanted to do is closed or sold out. Museums are typically closed on Mondays and federal holidays, so double-check the opening hours before you plan your trip. For sightseeing stops like the Bombay Sapphire Distillery, book your tickets in advance to secure your spot.

Learn the cruise ship lingo

Cruise ships are a whole new world, and with that comes new terminology to learn. Don’t get caught out of the loop! Here are some basics to start your trip:

Home port: The port that the cruise ship embarks and disembarks (for your trip, this will be Southampton)
Port of call: Stops the cruise ship makes along the way
Bow: The front of the ship
Stern: The back of the ship
Galley: The ship’s kitchen

How to get from London to Southampton

You’ve booked your cruise and flights, but how will you get to the ship? You have several transport options for your transfer from London to Southampton: car, bus, or train. When choosing your mode of transportation, consider how much time you have before the cruise departs, the price, as well as the flexibility you’d like on your trip.

London to Southampton via private driver

Unlike a cruise shuttle bus with specific departure points, Daytrip will pick you up right from your London hotel or airport. This flexibility allows you to focus on the fun aspects of your trip without worrying about logistics and deadlines.

While you’re traveling to Southampton, you’ll have the flexibility and control of renting a car without the hassle of returning it (or learning how to drive on the left side of the road!) Daytrip’s private drivers are local professionals, so they know this route very well.

You’ll have the chance to see more of England beyond its capital and lean into the cultural experience of traveling to another country. Choose sightseeing stops that fit into your schedule and interests, and let Daytrip worry about the transportation details.

Once you arrive in Southampton, you’ll be glad a shuttle bus didn’t take you to a general drop-off point like the bus station. Enjoy door-to-door service as you’re chauffeured straight to your hotel or the pier of your cruise ship. Secure your seat in a comfy sedan with two other guests for $70 (£55).

London to Southampton via bus

National Express operates buses from London’s Earl’s Court Station, London Hammersmith, and London Victoria to the Southampton Coach Station Harbour Parade. The trip takes an average of 2 hours and 15 minutes. Tickets can be found as low as $9 (£7), but the average is $32-$44.50 (£25-£35).

Once you’re at the Southampton Coach Station, you can take a taxi to the Southampton Port in 5 minutes. The U1C bus is another option, which stops at the coach station and is a 10-minute ride from the Telephone House stop. It is then another 5 minutes' walk to the docks.

London to Southampton via train

South Western Railway has direct trains from London Waterloo Station to Southampton Central that depart around every 30 minutes during the high season of summer. London Waterloo is Britain’s largest and busiest train station, so you have plenty of options for getting to the station from your hotel or the airport.

Tickets cost between $57-$140 (£45-£110) per passenger depending on how far in advance you book your ticket and which class of seats you choose. Once you arrive at Southampton Central Railway Station, a five-minute taxi ride can take you to Southampton Port. Alternatively, you can take the 17 or 19 bus to the Holyrood Church stop and walk about 10 minutes to your ship.

Things to do when you get to Southampton

After your transfer from London to Southampton, take some time to see all the city has to offer. Southampton has plenty of entertainment and dining options for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.

Learn about Southampton at the SeaCity Museum

At the SeaCity Museum, you can follow centuries of Southampton’s rich maritime history, trading routes, and claims to fame. This includes stories of everyday sailors and merchants and, of course, a detailed exhibit on the RMS Titanic, which set sail from the city's docks in 1912.

Visit the Southampton City Art Gallery

Conveniently next to the SeaCity Museum, the Southampton City Art Gallery houses an impressive collection of art spanning six centuries. Its focus is on contemporary British works and temporary exhibitions. The gallery is free to enter and family-friendly.

Go to new heights at the Solent Sky Museum

Southampton isn’t just about sea navigation! Come to the Solent Sky Museum for the history of aviation in Southampton. This family-friendly museum features a collection of iconic aircraft, including the Supermarine Spitfire.

Attend a show at the Mayflower Theatre

Catch a West End show, musical, or live performance at the UK’s third-largest theater, the Mayflower Theatre, which hosts a variety of top-quality productions throughout the year.

Step back in time at the Tudor House and Garden

The Tudor House and Garden was established in 1912 as Southampton’s first museum. The house dates back to 1491 and showcases over 800 years of Southampton’s history through interactive exhibits. The garden is a model of the medicinal plants and foods that would have been typical of a Tudor garden at the time. Keep in mind that unlike most museums, the Tudor House is open on Mondays but closed on Fridays.

Walk along the Medieval City walls

About a 10-minute walk from the Tudor House are some of the best-preserved medieval city walls in England. These walls include the Bargate gatehouse and a lookout tower.

Stroll in one of Southampton’s many green spaces

This might be your last time on land for many days, so enjoy the many parks and natural spaces Southampton has to offer before your cruise.

Southampton Common

This large public park, located in the north of the city, has expansive green spaces, ponds, and woodlands. It is perfect for a leisurely walk and a picnic.

East Park

East Park is in the center of the city and has a memorial to the Titanic's engineers, rock gardens, fountains, and paths. It is also adjacent to Hogsland, Palmerston, and Watts Parks.

New Forest National Park

Just a short drive from Southampton, this beautiful national park offers stunning landscapes, walking trails, and the chance to see free-roaming ponies and other wildlife.

When is the best time to visit Southampton

The best time to travel from London to Southampton depends on your preferences for weather, activities, and crowd levels. Generally, the period from late spring to early autumn (May to September) is ideal for most visitors.

Late Spring (May through June)

Late spring is one of the best times to visit Southampton. The daytime temperatures range from 54°F to 64°F (12°C to 18°C), making it pleasant for sightseeing. The city’s parks and gardens, like Southampton Common, are in full bloom, providing beautiful scenery for walks and picnics. This period also sees fewer tourists compared to the peak summer months, allowing for a more relaxed experience.

Summer (July through August)

Summer is the peak tourism season in Southampton. The weather is warm, averaging between 59°F and 72°F (15°C and 22°C). This is the best time to go on a cruise or for outdoor activities, such as visiting the nearby New Forest National Park. However, popular attractions and accommodations can be crowded and more expensive during this time, so booking in advance is recommended.

Early Autumn (September through October)

This season is perfect for exploring the city’s historical sites, such as the medieval city walls and the Tudor House and Garden, without the hustle and bustle of peak season tourists. For boating fans, time your visit with the Southampton Boat Show, which usually takes place in September. This is Britain’s largest boat show and attracts experts and novices alike. Expect temperatures around 65°F (18°C).

Winter (November through April)

While winter in Southampton is colder and wetter, with temperatures between 37°F and 50°F (3°C and 10°C), it can still be a good time to visit if you prefer fewer crowds and don’t mind the chill. Indoor attractions, like the SeaCity Museum and the Mayflower Theatre, can keep you out of the cold.

Fue un viaje fantástico.

“Quedamos extremadamente satisfechos con la calidad del servicio que recibimos de Day Trip. Tuvimos dos viajes con Day Trip el 31 de agosto de Atenas a Lefkada y el 7 de septiembre de Lefkada de regreso a Atenas. Ambos viajes incluyeron paradas en lugares pintorescos de Grecia. Ambos conductores fueron excelentes y complacientes. Sin embargo, nos gustaría especialmente reconocer a Panos Peppas, quien fue nuestro conductor de Lefkada a Atenas. Panos fue increíblemente amable y agradable, y brindó un servicio al cliente excepcional, que incluyó encargarse de todo nuestro equipaje, proporcionarnos aguas frías durante todo el viaje, darnos barritas de proteína, entregarnos material impreso sobre el Canal de Corinto (una de las paradas escénicas), buscar y facilitarnos información sobre la terminal y la puerta de nuestro vuelo de regreso a casa, y proporcionarnos una receta de tzatziki.”

Transporte seguro y a precio razonable

“Gonzalo de Daytrip fue nuestro conductor y fue absolutamente increíble. Hizo todo lo posible por localizarnos, ya que no teníamos buena señal en nuestros teléfonos. Esperó pacientemente nuestra llegada al vestíbulo para llevarnos desde el Tulum Dreams Resort a nuestro otro hotel en Cancún, a una hora y media de distancia, cerca del aeropuerto, antes de nuestro vuelo de regreso a casa. Fue educado, respetuoso y amable. Se aseguró de que estuviéramos cómodos durante todo el trayecto. Rápido y directo. Recomiendo esta empresa, ya que encontrar un transporte solo de ida de Tulum a Cancún no es fácil ni barato, y esta empresa ofrece un excelente servicio a un gran precio. Definitivamente los volveré a usar cuando esté en la zona de Cancún/Tulum. Gracias, Daytrip y Gonzalo.”

Daytrip nunca decepciona

“Marianna nos recogió para llevarnos de Heraclión a Chania. El clima era terrible y, debido a esto, Marianna llegó unos minutos tarde. Me contactó para avisarme. Marianna vive en Chania y hizo que nuestro viaje fuera muy interesante al contarnos sobre cosas locales para hacer y ver en Chania. Marianna es una conductora segura y todos nos sentimos cómodos con la velocidad a la que conducía y lo bien que manejó bajo la fuerte lluvia. Es una persona encantadora y habla inglés con fluidez. Recomendamos mucho a Daytrip, y si estás en Heraclión o Chania, asegúrate de pedir a Marianna.”

Una gran manera de viajar y ver algunos lugares en el camino

“No sabíamos qué esperar de este viaje y reservamos desde Australia. Inicialmente buscábamos una forma fácil de viajar de Granada a Málaga. Decidimos no perder la oportunidad de ver algo más en nuestro camino. Miguel ciertamente superó nuestras expectativas. Su inglés era excelente (lamentablemente hablamos muy poco español), y fue muy amable y servicial. Disfrutamos mucho escuchando sobre las regiones por las que pasamos y también discutiendo algunas de las costumbres locales. Miguel nos llevó a Antequera como estaba planeado y se aseguró de que pudiéramos conseguir fácilmente nuestras entradas para las atracciones sin ninguna prisa. Nos recogieron y dejaron puntualmente y realmente disfrutamos nuestro viaje. Esperamos volver a España y poder usar este servicio nuevamente en algún momento.”
