Book ahead and secure your transfer between central London and Southampton cruise port before you travel. Simply choose between a round-trip or one-way transfer when you book online, and relax with door-to-door transport at the start or end of your vacation. It means you’ll have more time to spend enjoying London and less time working out the logistics.

Most bike hire gives you wheels and a map. Pedal & Puzzle gives you a mission! It combines New Forest e-bike hire with an escape-room-style challenge played out across real landscapes. You’re not just sightseeing — you’re searching for clues, spotting details and unlocking the next stage of the route. The puzzles encourage teamwork and friendly competition, making it ideal for couples, families and groups of friends. The electric bikes smooth out hills and longer distances, so everyone can join in and enjoy the adventure. Starting near Lymington and Keyhaven means you’re straight onto scenic coastal trails and lanes not busy roads. It’s immersive, active and far more memorable than a standard cycle ride. The ideal day out for fans of escape rooms and outdoor adventures!

Save money on your journey between Southampton Port and London Heathrow Airport, and opt for a shared transfer shuttle by an 8-seater minivan. You’ll skip the complications and inconvenience of traveling with all your luggage via public transport, yet enjoy a less costly alternative to a taxi or private transfer.
