It will be much easier to take the train, but if time is on your side then the coach is a possibility. Please remember that we do also have a car sharing page
National Express
This company runs regular services from London to Southampton. There is actually one coach a day to Brockenhurst itself but the times are quite inconvenient.
Timetable here:
London to Southampton and Bournemouth
Saturday Morning
If you can travel on Friday then you have lots of options available but if you are travelling Saturday morning then we suggest taking this coach:
Depart London Victoria: 7am
Arrive Southampton Coach Station: 8:50am
You can then make your way to Southampton Central Train Station and meet other passengers from London who will already be on this train (heading towards Weymouth or Bournemouth):
Depart Southampton Central Train Station: 9:51am
Arrive Brockenhurst Train Station: 10:04am
Shared taxis can then drop you to your accommodation choices to check-in and pick you up again a short while afterwards to take you to the treehouse. Time will be quite tight.
NB – You will need to have made prior arrangements with your hotel / B&B about what time you can check-in that morning.
Saturday Afternoon
We suggest taking this coach:
Depart London Victoria Coach Station: 12:30 midday
Arrive Southampton Coach Station: 14:45
You can then VERY QUICKLY make your way to Southampton Central Train Station and meet other passengers from London who will already be on this train (heading towards Weymouth or Bournemouth):
Depart Southampton Central Train Station: 15:24
Arrive Brockenhurst Train Station: 15:37
This will make taxi sharing easier once in Brockenhurst.
Return travel on Sunday
Sunday Afternoon
If you are staying for the Sunday afternoon fun then we suggest booking either the 18:30 or the 20:00 return service from Southampton Coach Station. The train timetable is available here. We have suggested those on the train to London book the 18:09 from Brockenhurst.
Sunday Morning-ish
If you would like to travel back with other passengers Sunday morning-ish then we suggest booking the 14:30 coach service from Southampton Coach Station and catching the 13:09 train from Brockenhurst with those travelling to London Waterloo.
