VTM, yes I've taken the S3 from Gloucester Green after arriving from London on the Tube or Espress and yes it's practical so yes, you should visit Blenheim Palace and back in 1 day. Fate, Thistle Marble Arch would be A good day for you since it's near the Marble Arch bus stop for the X90/Oxford Tube. No, you can't buy A period return from London-Oxford-Heathrow you will have to buy 2 single tickets.

I have not booked hotel in London yet as I'm trying to find out which hotel/B&B is just steps away from the bus stop because I am travelling with a full-sized suitcase, can't afford a long walk from hotel to bus stop. Would someone be kind enough to tell me what will be the best hotel/B&B choice for me? Either Espress or Tube is fine with me. Also, I will need to go to Heathrow from Oxford on the 22nd. Can I buy a period return ticket for London-Oxford-Heathrow instead of buying two single tickets for London-Oxford and Oxford-Heathrow? Any advice will be very much appreciated!

This post and all the replies were really helpful. I need to get to Marble Arch on a Friday morning between 8:30~9:00. I figure from the above that 6:00 Tube is a safe choice. Maybe could 6:24 Tube (being a "express" service) also work, or should I absolutely go for the 6:00 Tube? Thanks. Wow. This post and all the replies were really helpful.

Ex Arriva employee, A combined service with interchangeable tickets May be introduced soon due to Transform Oxford and it might be A good idea.

Also, is the 6am coach very busy and will I get a seat? Does anyone know if the 6am Tube, which claims to be a faster service as it omits two stops, is any quicker than the standard service?

Bus is better cost wise. A good time to go to London is in the early morning(before 7:00) on A Sat or Sun and in the middle of the day on Sun. Bus is better cost wise.

I am completely new to this system and also don't know places over there much. Could anyone guide me as at which time it will be convinient to move in weekend and get back to Abingdon after complete London city tour. I would prefer a less rush and a peaceful journey. Also cost wise which will be better BUS or Train (if they go). Thanks in advance I will be visiting Abingdon in june and I would like to visit London on my visit to UK.

If your late at night 'n' it's not the right time for the X90 catch the OT to Marble Arch 'n' walk from there to Baker St. It will take you between 33 minutes and 1 hour and 47 minutes to get to Baker St. To get to Baker St in London you would need to catch the X90.
