Transport Connections From London's Airports, Rail Stations and Cruise Terminals

London Heathrow Airport Underground Station
Getting To London Kensington

Kensington covers a large area just to the west of the centre of London. On this page we focus on the main hotel strip along the Cromwell Road following the Piccadilly and District lines of the London Underground through Earls Court and Gloucester Road

 

For most leisure travelers, Heathrow is the only airport where the cost of taxi transfers are worth considering within most people's budgets. The exception to the rule perhaps being if you have a group or lots and lots of luggage. A private charter bus is worth considering for such groups.


A good first task is to identify precisely where your accommodation is in the Kensington area. The Kensngton administrative area formally covers much of west and central London so just because it says Kensington on the address can be misleading.

A good second investment in time is to understand the basic's of using London's public transport. You will waste a lot of money paying single fares for everything and when you are traveling around London you will need to purchase a transport pass of one kind or another. You will save yourself a lot of time and money purchasing the right pass before you get to your hotel.


Public transport passes in London can be complicated, especially if you have children so reading our Travelcard or Oyster Card page will pay dividends for a small investment in your time.
