How do I get to the Eden Project from London by public transport?
Take a train from London Paddington to St Austell (approx. 3.5 hours), then a bus (number 21 or 21A) directly to the Eden Project. Buses run every 30 minutes and the journey takes 15 minutes. Pre-booking parking is not needed when using public transport. Trains and buses accept contactless payment.
What is the best time of year to visit the Eden Project to avoid rain?
