Calling All Minifigure Maniacs! Your LEGO® London to Legoland Quest Awaits!
So, you've conquered the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace is basically your new living room (give or take a few corgis), and Big Ben's chime practically lulls you to sleep each night. But wait! There's still a thrill-bricking adventure waiting for you, a realm where plastic bricks reign supreme: Legoland® Windsor!
But how, you ask, do you traverse the Thames and emerge victorious into a land of dragons, rollercoasters, and Ninjago? Fear not, intrepid explorer! This guide will have you navigating the London labyrinth like a master builder.
Trains: Your Speedy Stallion to the Kingdom of Bricks
Forget broomsticks, forget unicorns (although those would be pretty cool). The fastest way to Legoland is by train. From London Paddington, a mere 30-minute choo-choo jaunt will land you at Windsor & Eton Central station. From there, a short bus ride (think double-decker with a dose of "jolly good day!") deposits you right at the gates of Legoland.
Top Tip: Keep an eye out for special Legoland Windsor combi-tickets that include train travel and park entry. It's a win-win for your wallet and your time!
Buses: The Brick-tastic Budget Option
Feeling a bit more thrifty? Green Line operates a direct coach service (the 702) from Victoria Coach Station, whisking you to Legoland in about an hour and a half. Just remember, on a budget, you might have to share your seat with a particularly talkative pirate minifigure.
Fun Fact: Did you know there's a special Legoland shuttle bus that operates during park opening hours? It runs from both Windsor & Eton Central and Windsor & Eton Riverside stations, making your arrival a breeze.
Cars: For the Adventurous Driver
Got a need for speed (and a good satnav)? Hopping in a car is an option, with the journey taking around 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic (remember, London can be a bit, well, crowded). But parking can get pricey, so be prepared to flex your financial muscles alongside your biceps after a day of brick-building fun.
Word to the Wise: Traffic wardens in Legoland Windsor are known for their zero-tolerance policy for rogue vehicles (especially those made entirely of LEGO® bricks). Park responsibly, folks!
