Transfers into London
Heathrow is about 15 miles west of the central area
of London where most visitors want to go. There is a myriad of transfer
options available.
In ascending order of cost these are:
London Underground
The London Underground network runs out to Heathrow
Airport taking around 45 minutes and is by far the cheapest option.
There will be an underground station very near your central London
destination. Downside is chronic crowding of the carriages which can
be stressful and uncomfortable if you have lots of luggage after a
long flight.

in central London. These are dedicated, comfortable coaches most of
