Traveling by UK National Rail
Lingfield (from London Victoria; destination is usually East Grinstead; cost around £10-12)
Three Bridges (from London Victoria; cost around £15)

Both journeys take just under one hour; however, the train to Lingfield is closest to the temple and is generally cheaper. The train to Three Bridges runs via Gatwick Airport, so may be more convenient if you are traveling from the airport.

Discounts are usually granted for groups of three to four for the price of two tickets. You much purchase these from the ticket agent. 
Check UK National Rail for train times and prices.

Taxi
From either train station, you can take a taxi to the Temple. Cost is generally around £6 per journey depending on taxi service. It is advisable to book your taxi prior to arriving at the train station as many of the taxi services have a high demand and take additional time to arrive. There are three main local taxi service providers in Lingfield as noted below. As demand oftentimes outweighs supply, it's a good idea to note all of these so you don't get stranded at the station! For early morning arrivals, it's best to book your taxi the night before.
