Planes, Trains, Automobiles
Padstow is about a 4-hour train journey from the London Paddington station or an hour-long flight from Gatwick. As you book travel arrangements, consider sticking around on Sunday, 16 July. We are planning an informal brunch from approximately 11 a.m. It’s Wimbledon finals that day, too, so you can bet you’ll get to enjoy that British tradition as well.

Getting to London
If you’re coming from outside the U.K., you’ll first need to get to London. Use your favorite airline or travel site. These are two of our favorites:
London-Cornwall
Book a flight from Gatwick (LGW) to Newquay (NQY)
OR
Book a train from London Paddington (PAD) to Bodmin Parkway (BOD)
Padstow
Whether you take a plane or train from London to the Cornish coast, you’ll need local transportation to get to Padstow. It takes about 25 minutes from the Newquay airport and about 35 minutes from the Bodmin Parkway train station.
