    Getting TO/AROUND: We flew from Aberdeen to London Heathrow with bmi you can choose between three airlines British Airways are usually the most expensive bmi & easyjet offer cheap flights but be aware easyjet flys into Luton, not Heathrow, so if this is your choice, be prepared for a longer onward journey.

    Airports (travel to and from): The fastest way to central London
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Train
    Getting TO/AROUND: If you can't use the tubes or simply don't like them, why not use the Heathrow Express. The train departs from terminals 1, 2 & 3 and speeds you to Paddington Station in about 15 minutes non stop. If you are travelling from terminal 4 add a further 8 minutes onto your journey time. This is a modern, fast & efficient train but be aware it is expensive £27.00 return or £14.50 single. You can book tickets on your flight saving you the princely sum of £1.00 but what the heck = a penny saved is a penny gained & please remember MIND THE GAP!!

    Train / Bus Stations: A Central London Station with a famous visitor

    Getting TO/AROUND: We stopped for a coffee on our arrival in Paddington Station. A very busy station indeed, but made much busier due to the imminent arrival of some VIP. We watched as the press & lots of people gathered round one of the tube entrances - Who did we see? No one special so it must have been that little Bear returning once again to his favourite station.
    You can catch a tube from here to many London underground locations & of course your Heathrow Express return train.

     Joan, gorgeous and comprehensive page about one of my favourite cities. I especially like the local custom tips, like the one about the Church of St. Mary le bow. Have a lovely weekend. :-)
