Here you will find all operators and timetables for a Bus from Essen to London

What are the most popular stations in Essen and London?

In Essen, you will usually depart from Central Station, Hafenstr. Bus Stop or Freiheit Bus Stop, while in London you will be arriving at Euston Station, King's Cross St Pancras or Victoria Rail Station, but there are many more stops to explore in both locations.

How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

Are you having trouble deciding on how to get to London from Essen? With 23 connections between 3 Flight, Train and Bus operators, it can be difficult to find the one ride that will make you happy. But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision. First of all, the best trip is always the one that meets all your needs, so make a list of all the things that you want from this journey and look for something that will satisfy all of them. Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.

Look for the lowest price

Ticket price is usually the main concern: even if you can afford to pay more, why do it if there are cheaper options? Saving on the trip means that you can spend more on the vacation itself! Between Essen and London, you can pay as low as £30 with a Flight from Wizz Air.

Travel duration

Time is also an important factor. An earlier departure may allow you to see a beautiful sunset or relax before an important event. And remember, time is money, so paying more for a shorter trip may be well worth it. For longer distances, flights are without doubt the best options, but be mindful of airport times and possible delays: a high-speed train may end up cheaper and faster! Here the quicker option is definitely the Flight from EasyJet Airline: you will get to London in just 1h 20m.

Comfort makes all the difference

You should always take into account what your personal travelling preferences are. Is one hand luggage enough, or are you trasporting more? Would you like to have a snack during the journey? Can you relax in a busy compartment, or do you need space for yourself? Even among the same mode of transportation, different companies will offer you varying levels of comfort and amenities. The main operators connecting Essen and London are Eurowings, Wizz Air and EasyJet Airline, but be sure to check what they have to offer!

Save money with deals, and always compare
