It is open certain days for Christmas with Santa, which is why I said
"depending on what day of the week". http://www.legoland.co.uk/

It's close to where the M25 crosses the Thames on the east side (just S of
the Dartford QE2 bridge/tunnel pair) in "Greenhithe"
Take any connex SE train to Greenhithe/Bluewater and catch the shuttle bus
that is included in your ticket. From Greenwich it was L 4.30p return.

45 M or less from Greenwich, although that was with some delays due to the
Railtrack problems.

I wasn't there for any other reason so dunno.

accompanied me there for a memorable time (LFB was along too!) )
