Basingstoke to Oxford Circus

pompeystallion

Hi, I m just about to start commuting from Basingstoke to Oxford Circus every weekday for a new job. Will be leaving BAS around 7:30am. Dont mind walking from Waterloo to Oxford Circus if thats the best option....

Can I have some advice? What is the absolute cheapest options for my travels?

you can get the bakerloo line straight from waterloo to oxford circus.

walking is cheapest but that's a long walk .... I'm thinking 45mins.

Bakerloo is your best bet if you don't mind paying extra to use the tube.

It's a reasonable walk from Waterloo to Oxford Circus but it's not quite 45 minutes - I work on Wardour Street in Soho and come in from Waterloo, it takes me about 15-20 minutes to walk it. Oxford Circus is less than 5 minutes from where I work.

It is a beautiful walk, however. You go past the South Bank Centre and over the river, through Charing Cross (OK that bit's not so pretty!) and round Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery.

There are also buses from Waterloo that go to Oxford Circus, but I wouldn't bother with them. The queues in the morning are enormous and the buses just get ground up in traffic anyway. You're quicker walking, or using the Bakerloo.

Hope this helps!
