Heathrow to London Transfers
If
you need to travel from Heathrow to London or vice versa you will have at least
5 options on most travelling days. These
options include rail (trains), buses, taxicabs, driving yourself (if you are
returning to Heathrow and you’ve parked in the long term parking there), or
getting a ride from a friend or family member.
There are a lot of taxicab firms that you can either pre-book or hire
directly from the cab-stand at Heathrow; as well, there are private mini-buses,
private full size buses, and city buses that can transport you from Heathrow toLondon.
If
you are travelling from London to Heathrow, your fastest and most convenient
option will probably be to hire a taxicab (this option, however, will not be
the cheapest available option). If you pre-book a taxicab or private car to
take you from London to Heathrow, it will probably be less expensive than
simply hailing a cab or hiring one from a cab-stand.
If
you drive your own vehicle to Heathrow and park in the long-term parking lots
there, it will cost you 17.90 GBP per day (for one to four days) or 17.20 GBP
per day for stays of five days or more. Parking in long-term parking at
Heathrow will cost more during peak periods; one to four days will cost 20.60
GBP per day and five days or more will cost 19.80 GBP per day.
You
can also take the London Underground train to Heathrow; this will be the
cheapest option but it can be difficult negotiating the escalators and steps,
particularly if you’re carrying luggage. In addition, the carriages are often
crowded in London. Another option is the
National Express Coach; this bus system costs slightly more than the train but
it is a luxury coach complete with a bathroom. Another option is an
‘aboveground’ train called the Heathrow Connect Train that shuttles between
London’s Paddington Station and Heathrow. This train is faster than the London
Underground train, taking only 25 minutes between the stops at Paddington andHeathrow. There is also an express
version of the aboveground train known as the Heathrow Express Train; this
train runs non-stop between Paddington and Heathrow, taking only 15 minutes
each way.
A
taxicab from London to Heathrow will cost you anywhere from 70 to 75 GBP each
way. The exact fare that you will end up paying depends on where in London you
are departing from, and how heavy traffic is along the route the taxicab driver
chooses. Again, it will be cheaper and more convenient to pre-book a cab than
to simply hail one in the street or hire one from a cab-stand.
