Traveling to Bath is quick and easy from London for a day-trip. Typically there are two trains per hour running from London Paddington Station to Bath Spa Station and the journey takes around 80 – 90 minutes. Consider buying train departure tickets (open return to give flexibility on when you leave Bath) in advance to Bath as the tickets can get pricey and sell out.
