Abbotts Travel shape the perfect experience for your business or leisure travel. One thing we know: you demand more from your travel specialist.
(32)

Established in South Woodford in 1957, Abbotts Travel is built on personalised customer service. That’s been our belief since we began, as a rail and theatre bookings business, in 1957. Growing to match demand for world travel, we never lost sight of what matters most: an individually-tailored service built on knowledge and experience. We remain a family business, run by Julian Abbott in the same

street, and on the same principles, as his grandfather and father, backed by a team of seasoned travellers for whom dedication is instinctive. They are specialists whose advice comes from personal experience, regular training and a limitless enthusiasm for seeing the world. And they’ve been with us a long time. So have our clients, who value an award-winning business that guarantees individual service and extra-mile support, wherever you are.
