Best way to travel from London to Blenheim Palace for day

Where in London are you coming from? It's a big city, so it will make a difference.

The way I have gone previously is getting the train (Chiltern Railways) from Marylebone to Oxford Parkway, and then a taxi the rest of the way. If I remember correctly there were plenty of taxis waiting at Oxford Parkway (I think a lot of people go this route) so we didn't even need to pre book one. You can ask the driver to come collect you when you're done and take you back to the station.

The Palace has suggestions on its website:
