How to get there?
This small and picturesque city is famous for many reasons and that’s why we decided to film a walk there, but first how to get to Canterbury. From central London you have two options – coach or train. The train cost depends on how long in advance you book your ticket, but usually is around 30 pounds and takes up to one hour to get there from London Kings Cross station. The coach is around two hours’ drive, but is significantly less expensive – 10 to 15 pounds from Victoria Coach Station.

Canterbury is one of these places where the time just stops. Beautiful small streets full of shops and restaurants, little cozy places for coffee or tea, many pubs. Many tourists visit the city every year and this brings the highest income. One of the most famous sights in Canterbury is Canterbury Cathedral.
