West Kensington to Waterloo Statio
 
anyone have suggestions for the best way to do this at about 8 AM on a Saturday, with luggage?

best obviously would be taxi in every case - best in what way? Price - time ?

www.tfl.org.uk or some such ending for exact tube connection. check to see if there are direct buses as well.

any idea how much and how long a drive the taxi might be? Thanks

To get a driving time estimate, go to www.viamichelin.com and enter the address of your hotel as your departure point and Waterloo International as your arrival point.

By tube, eastbound District Line to Westminster, change to Jubilee Line for Waterloo. I don't know West Ken, but I assume some stairs there to get to the platform, thereafter, it's escalators all the way. But if you're going to Waterloo International, you'll have to walk from one side of Waterloo to the other, either through the main concourse, or along a moving walkway underground.

No direct bus.

sure sounds like a taxi is in order!

How much luggage? If you can easily handle it, then the tube will be fine. A cab won't be cheap - but it will be "door to door".

We paid ?32 for a taxi from Waterloo station to Earls court in South Kensington midday sunday. The traffic was terrible!
