It's easy to travel from the UK to Prague by train, and it's both affordable & time-effective when compared to an afternoon of airport buses, airports, flights, taxis and then a hotel. Take an afternoon Eurostar from London to Brussels and a connecting high-speed train to Cologne, then the excellent 'Phoenix' City Night Line sleeper train to Prague, arriving right in the city centre just after breakfast next morning. Some sleepers on this train even have a private shower & toilet, with breakfast included, served in your compartment. Or take an afternoon Eurostar from London to Paris, the overnight sleeper to Berlin, then a scenic EuroCity journey from Berlin to Prague with lunch in the restaurant car. Or use daytime trains with an overnight stop. The choice is yours...
