If you’re on a budget, or you just want to see all the motorway traffic, take the coach. National Express and Green Line run direct buses from Victoria Coach Station.
It takes about 75 to 90 minutes. That’s like listening to a podcast and half an audiobook. You’ll snooze, you’ll scroll, and you’ll probably arrive with a crick in your neck.

But here’s the secret: the coach is dead cheap. You can sometimes snag a ticket for £5 if you book ahead. That’s less than a fancy coffee. And you get to see the M1 motorway in all its concrete glory—very British, very meh, but surprisingly relaxing.
Why it’s cool: You become a people-watching expert.
Coaches attract all sorts. You might sit next to a student going home, a tired commuter, or someone with a cat in a carrier. It’s like a reality show on wheels. Just don’t stare too long.
