>> Detailed Guide To London Underground
Heathrow Airport to Victoria
There are direct National Express coaches to Victoria Coach Station at a price somewhere between the underground and Heathrow Express.
The Heathrow Express from Heathrow to Paddington only takes 15 minutes but then you have a tedious taxi or the Underground transfer of about 3 miles, this is the most expensive option. At a fraction of the cost you can do the trip using the Heathrow Underground link. Change at Hammersmith where the Piccadilly & District Lines are adjacent, (unlike at stations between Victoria & Earls Court).
Gatwick Airport to Victoria
From Gatwick to Victoria is a no brainer, take the direct train. The defacto train from Gatwick to Victoria is the Gatwick Express, a dedicated airport train. There are cheaper trains from Victoria that stop at Gatwick on their way to other destinations.
If you really on a budget there is the much slower, less frequent Gatwick airport bus to Victoria.
Stansted Airport to Victoria
There are three coach services from Stansted to Victoria. The National Express Victoria-Stansted service operates a true 24 hour service from Victoria Coach Station. It makes several stops through central London. Terravision, run a non-stop slightly cheaper service from the Green Line Coach Station at Victoria. easyBus runs a frequent minibus based service.

A faster, more expensive but faster option is to take the Stansted Express train to Tottenham Hale, then get the Victoria Line underground to Victoria.
Luton Airport to Victoria
A direct service from Luton Airport to Victoria is run by Green Line bus, running several times an hour to Victoria Green Line Coach Station.

There is also train service available, the Luton Airport First Capital Connect service will take you to Kings Cross, where you can catch the Victoria Line Underground to Victoria.
Victoria 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 markedly depending on time of day and time taken).

A short taxi connection to say Oxford Street will cost around £5-£7, Liverpool Street 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 private hire minibus has compelling advantages both economic and practical to the public transport option.

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.
