The
first thing to say is that a day trip to Glastonbury from London is
not really realistic by public transport.
You need really to overnight and make it a 2 or 3 day trip perhaps
combining Bath and Stonehenge into your itinerary.
The quickest but most expensive option is by train from London's Paddington
Station to Castle Cary, approximately 1½ hours.
Its then a fairly lengthy and expensive taxi (best pre booked) of
about 25 minutes to Glastonbury.

| If
you do only have a day, then your best option from London is probably
a small group day
tour combining Glastonbury, Stonehenge and Avebury. Though note
you will only get about 2 hours at most in Glastonbury. |
 |
A cheaper
but slower train option from London is to catch a train from Paddington
to Bristol Temple Meads. From close to the station you can get a bus,
route 376 to Glastonbury on its way to Street.
Note the bus takes 90 minutes to perform this journey and the train
from London takes the best part of two hours. |
The
cheapest option between London and Glastonbury is National Express
coach that takes around 4 hours to do the journey direct. Normally
there is only one service a day, leaving London in the evening and
Glastonbury early morning.
National Express operate very frequently between London and Bristol
from where you can get a local bus to Glastonbury taking around 90
minutes
