I am going to be in England from March 15 - March 20, staying in London. While I'm there, I'd love to come check it the EC premises, but Google says it is a 7 hour trip each way via public transport. Is it easier than that or is it just that difficult to get there via public transport from London?

I'll look into hiring a car, but I'm under 25. In Aus you will pay through your nose if you are under 25. Is there a good cheapish company that I should look at going with?
