Bayswater is in the north-west sector of the centre of London, on the northern border of Kensington Gardens / Hyde Park.

Bayswater is about a mile from Paddington Station, the major train station for South Wales and South-west of England as well as the terminus for the Heathrow Express train.

Also about 1.5 miles away is Baker Street where airport buses run to Luton and Stansted Airports. Both Paddington and Baker Street are connected to Bayswater by the Circle Line Underground and the number 27 bus (a 24 hour bus).

Bayswater also has a direct Underground link with Victoria, the main entry point for public transfers to Gatwick.

>> Detailed Guide To London Underground
Heathrow Airport
By far the most comfortable transfer from Heathrow to Bayswater is to catch the Heathrow Express from Heathrow to Paddington, then get a short taxi ride of about 5 minutes to your hotel. Bayswater is also the next stop on the Underground from Paddington.
At a fraction of the cost of the Heathrow Express, the London Underground will deliver you from Heathrow to Bayswater in about an hour, changing at Earls Court.
Gatwick Airport
From Gatwick to Bayswater the only realistic route is to travel by train to London Victoria, then get the Underground or a taxi to Bayswater.
The defacto train from Gatwick to Victoria is the Gatwick Express, a dedicated airport train. 		London Gatwick Express Transfer
If you are on a budget there are slightly cheaper commuter trains on the same route
There is a very cheap Gatwick airport bus to Victoria, however frequencies are not great and the roads are not good, subject to traffic congestion.
Stansted Airport
Choice is fundamentally between cheap airport buses and the Stansted Express train from Liverpool Street. Liverpool Street is still a long transfer from Bayswater.
National Express run a very frequent 24 hour bus to Stansted that picks up at Baker Street, only a mile or so from Bayswater.
The cheapest transfer is to get the Underground to Liverpool Street or Stratford and get the airport buses run by Terravision and National Express respectively.
Luton Airport
There is a train service from Luton Airport to London, but you need to catch a free transfer bus at the airport to the nearest station 5 minutes away. Get off at Farringdon then get the Underground to Bayswater.
A cheaper option is the London Green Line Luton airport bus, running several times an hour from outside the terminal at Luton to Baker Street, a short underground or bus (no27) to Bayswater.
Bayswater by Taxi
The only worthwhile airport to consider using a taxi from is London Heathrow. A Heathrow black taxi from in front of the terminal will cost in the region of £50, (taxis are metered but fares will vary depending on time of day and time taken).

A short taxi connection to say Paddington or Baker Street will cost around £5-£7, Victoria or Kings Cross £10.
Transfers For Small Groups & Families

If there are four or more of you travelling in a group, do explore the option of chartering your own minibus. For Heathrow especially a minibus has compelling advantages both economic and practical to using public transport.

Dot 2 Dot Hotel Shared Hotel Shuttle Bus To/From Heathrow /Gatwick

The Hotel bus shuttle is an established shared minibus service transporting travellers between Heathrow Airport and their Central London Hotel.

You pay a flat fare per person, whether there is one or four of you. You will share the minibus with other travellers.
The driver will drop you off at your Central London hotel in the order which makes most sense given the location of the destination hotels.
Coming back out to the airport, you agree a time slot within which the minibus will pick you up from your hotel lobby.

The service is well established and is used by many small tour operators. You should be aware that this is a shared service, not a private taxi transfer. You may have to wait at the airport 15-20 minutes for the shuttle and you may get a mini-tour of London if the people on board have widely dispersed accommodation.

Dot 2 Dot have desks in the terminals and plenty of their own staff available at the airports to make sure the transfer goes smoothly.
