Heathrow
Airport to Bloomsbury
By
far the most comfortable transfer from Heathrow to Bloomsbury is to
catch the Heathrow
Express from Heathrow to Paddington then get a taxi or the Underground
via Oxford Circus to Tottenham Crt Rd or Holborn.
This is quite expensive though, at a fraction of the cost you can
do the trip using the Heathrow
Underground link. This option can be very crowded, but many people
do it and think of the money they're saving. Journey time is under
an hour. It is a direct train from Heathrow to Holborn or Russell
Square.

Gatwick
Airport to Bloomsbury
From
Gatwick to Bloomsbury take the Gatwick
Express train to Victoria. There are commuter trains which perform
the same route and are fractionally cheaper.
There is also a very cheap Gatwick
to Victoria airport bus, but this is much slower and less frequent.
From Victoria, take the Victoria Line Underground to Oxford Circus,
then switch to the Central Line for Tottenham Court Road or Holborn. |
Luton
Airport to Bloomsbury
A
direct train service operates from Luton
to Kings Cross Thameslink several times an hour. There is no train
station at the airport itself so you get a free bus shuttle from in
front of the terminal to Luton Parkway. From Kings Cross, you can
take the Piccadilly Line Underground to Russell Square or Holborn.
Much slower, but less expensive is the Green
Line Luton Bus. This operates several times an hour from In front
of the terminal at Luton to Marble Arch, where you can get the Central
Line underground to Tottenham Court Road or Holborn.

Bloomsbury
by Taxi
The only worthwhile airport to consider using a taxi from is London
Heathrow. A 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 Kings Cross will cost around £5-£7,
Victoria around £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.
