Getting around Winchester

Winchester's High Street and the streets around the cathedral are partly pedestrianised, so for the centre we agree a drop-off as close as the roads allow. Winchester station, a short walk uphill from the centre, has fast trains to London Waterloo in about an hour; the Park & Ride sites around the city are handy for day visitors, but a door-to-door car is simpler with luggage.

Regular Winchester journeys include the Royal Hampshire County Hospital, the University of Winchester, Winchester College at the start and end of term, and visitors coming for the cathedral and the Great Hall — especially during the Christmas market in the cathedral close.

Villages around the city

We collect from Winnall, Weeke, Stanmore, Kings Worthy, Colden Common and the villages along the Itchen and Test valleys, where buses are infrequent and a booked car is often the only practical way to catch an early train or flight.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Winchester station is on the main line to London Waterloo, with fast trains taking about an hour. We set the pickup so you reach the platform with time to spare, and meet arriving trains for visitors going on to hotels, the university or villages outside the city.
