Return costs from London to The Mill Retreat Centre approx 5 hours journey time. Or less than 2 hours if you get the 59 minute London to Calais train where the coach or minibus will pick you up.
*NOTE on journey times: We have found one the most efficient ways of using the coach or minibus is for everyone to get the 59 minite train from London to Calais and for the minibus to pick the group up from there, this cuts the journey time in the mini bus down to less than 2 hours, the London to Calais train for group bookings is only £40 -£50 return in booked in advance. This helps avoid the Friday afternoon London Rush hour that can slow the journey tine down for anyone in a car or minibus when leaving London.
