Don't worry, neither do I! Folkestone is very conveniently less than an hour's train ride from London St Pancras or Stratford stations. The high-speed Southeastern javelin trains whizz through the Kent countryside at up to 140mph, stopping at both of Folkestone's stations, with other connections at Westenhanger and Sandling, near Hythe. Southeastern is Kent's only rail provider, running train services to and from over 180 stations. The fares are pretty good value which makes it the ideal way to explore the county without a car.
