I'm from London and have just looked at the website mentioned above. It quotes your fare at five pounds seventy five pence. But I did it from Victoria to Piccadilly Circus. Although there is a " Central Street " in London this is not in the west end where I would think as a tourist you'll want to go. However to go to Central Street EC1 then the above person was about right. I'd be a bit dubious about using the recommended taxi company though as that company is MILES from central London and only gives a mobile ( cell ) number. Grab a black cab from outside the station to go there. And although I'd expect it to be a bit more expensive at least you know you'll get there in once piece. Personally I'd just jump on the tube ( underground railway ) for two pounds or jump on a bus.

What is the latest train leaving London to Bristol?

Fares vary tremendously depending on the time of day you travel, how much in advance you book your ticket and whether you book for a specific train.

The most expensive option is buying an open ticket for a peak time (ie rush hour and weekends) at the last minute - which could cost over £100! Check prices at firstgreatwestern.co.uk. It's generally much much cheaper to travel between London and Bristol by bus if you buy your ticket at least a a day or two in advance - see nationalexpress.com
