By train, St. Albans is located approximately 20 minutes south of Luton Airport and 22 minutes north of London Kings Cross [check times], making it perfect for a stop over on the way to or from London from the airport.

London (Eyewitness Travel Guides) St. Albans’ location also means that London makes an easy day out from St. Albans. Most local people will have heard of, and probably visited, many of the top ten sights in London: Westminster, shopping on Regent Street and Oxford Street, St. Pauls Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, etc.

If, however, you want to dig a bit beneath the surface – either by finding out more about the sights you already know or finding new places to visit that aren’t on the usual Bus Tour routes – a good travel guide to London can come in handy. We prefer Dorling Kindersley’s London Eyewitness Travel Guide because it not only contains information about a wide range of tourist sights, historical places, restaurants, etc in London, but also has many photos and illustrations to help you decide what’s worth visiting.

It’s also a great resource to have available in the guest room for when visiting friends and relatives are looking for something to do and you can’t figure out what they might want to do on a day trip to London. All they have to do is look through and point at what they want to see!
