Canterbury has excellent accommodation in all price brackets. We will announce hotels offering special deals in January. Canterbury can be reached by train from London (St Pancras International including the Eurostar terminal, Victoria and Charing Cross) or coach from Victoria.  The Channel port of Dover is easily accessible by car, bus or train. The most convenient airports are London City, Gatwick and Luton. Car parking is at a premium in the city and expensive.
