Rubens to Victoria Coach Station - walking distance?

[RandS]

I have a similar question regarding distance (re: the thread titled Rubens to Liverpool station). We are staying pre-cruise at the Rubens at the Palace and need to get to Victoria Coach station to catch a transfer. Is it walking distance pulling a wheeled suitcase or should we plan to take a cab.

 

Thanks in advance

RandS,

Phillip & I are on the TA as well and are also staying at the Rubens. From everything I have read it seems to about a block or two. All of our suitcases are on wheels and can be stacked and connected. I think we will walk the distance.

I am sorry RandS. I was speaking about Victoria Train Station. I believe the coach station is a little further away. I believe some others on our Roll Call thread also staying at the Rubens have been corresponding with the Concierge concerning transportation questions and recommendations. A lot of the reviews on Tripadvisor mention how helpful the Concierge is at this hotel.

Rubens to Victoria Coach Station is a quarter of a mile going west on Buckingham Palace Road.

I'd expect this to take you about 15 minutes on foot.

Very easy walk we did it last Sept to the Ruben Pam

RandS ..... thank you for this thread. We are also staying at The Rubens pre-cruise and have Princess transfers at Victoria Coach Station.

 

My luggage piggybacks on wheels too. 1/4 mile -- 15 minute walk -- guess I can handle that as long as the weather cooperates. ;)

 

Has anyone done this transfer? We're supposed to be at the station by 11 AM to leave at noon, I believe. Does Princess use nice comfortable motorcoaches to transport you to Southampton? How long is the ride - I hear 2 hours?

 

Thanks in advance for letting me butt into your thread ... it has been really helpful. :)

No problem CruiseNut7.

 

Based on the response we'll be walking (with our luggage). It will be good exercise before getting on the ship.

 

Till then
