Getting to and from Heathrow
Rail
Heathrow Express
The fastest way to central London: non-stop to Paddington in 15 minutes, every 15 minutes. It is also a free ride between Terminals 2 and 3 and Terminal 5.
Book an Advance single at least 30 days ahead for the cheapest fare. Children aged 15 and under travel free in Standard with a paying adult.
Read the guide →Rail
Elizabeth line & Piccadilly line
Lower-cost trains into central London. The Elizabeth line is quicker and goes to Paddington, Bond Street and beyond, while the Piccadilly line is the cheapest way in.
Trains stop at night. The first Elizabeth line train from Terminals 2 and 3 is about 05:21 and the last about 00:12. Check the Piccadilly line before a night journey.
Read the guide →Walk or free train
Between the terminals
Terminals 2 and 3 are a walk apart. Terminals 4 and 5 each stand on their own, so a hotel at the wrong one adds a transfer.
Allow 20 to 30 minutes door to door between any two terminals.
Read the guide →Bus
Hotel Hoppa bus
The paid shuttle that links most Heathrow hotels with the terminals, charged per person.
£7 each single, £13 return. Group tickets are £20 single and £36 return, so ask if there are three or more of you.
Read the guide →Pod
Heathrow Pod
Driverless pods link the Thistle hotel with Terminal 5 in about five minutes.
£8.75 per person each way, 04:00 to 00:15. It stops at the Terminal 5 car park, so there is still a walk to check-in.
Read the guide →Taxi
Taxis & private transfers
Black cabs wait at ranks outside every terminal and run at any hour, charging per car on the meter.
For three or more people, a taxi often beats per-person fares. A short hop to a nearby hotel is roughly £10 to £25 (estimate).
