In railway signal boxes you will see the levers and line maps are marked up or down, you still see this on some platforms. Up denotes to London, Down away from London so it is correct to say up to London.
Unless like me you are from Derby, where Derby is always Up and away from Derby is Down, this is because of our moral and intellectual superiority to all other parts of the country.
