Travelling from London to the Henley Royal Regatta requires planning, especially during regatta week when thousands of visitors descend on Henley-on-Thames. The two most common options are train or taxi, but which is actually better?
This guide compares both so you can choose the most convenient option for your visit.
Getting to Henley Royal Regatta by Train
Many visitors consider the train, usually travelling from London Paddington to Henley-on-Thames via Twyford.
Pros:
- Regular services from London
- No driving required
Cons:
- Busy trains during regatta week
- Multiple changes and standing room likely
- Walk from station to the river (often crowded)
- Not ideal for formal outfits or large groups
Trains can be workable, but they’re rarely the most comfortable option during peak event days.
Getting to Henley Royal Regatta by Taxi or Chauffeur
A pre-booked taxi or chauffeur from London offers a far more relaxed and reliable experience.
Advantages of a private transfer:
- Door-to-door service from home, hotel or office
- No train changes or walking
- Fixed pricing with no surge
- Ideal for hospitality guests and formal dress codes
