How to get from central London to Heathrow, cheaply?
I’m flying to Italy on July 4, and my flight leaves Heathrow at 6:50 a.m. I’m staying at a hotel in Bayswater, north of Hyde Park.
Does anyone from London have any tips on how to get to the airport? The tube is out, since I’d like to be there 2 hours ahead of time, and it doesn’t start running until 5 a.m. Taxis are expensive. In the states there are cheap van shuttles that will pick you up and take you to the airport — anything like that in the U.K.?
hotelhoppa and hotelink don’t start early enough for you. Neither does the Heathrow Express.
You can do it by 2 buses
N52 to Notting Hill Gate
N9 to Heathrow
Should take about 1 hour 30 minutes.

How to get to Alderbury of Salisbury, the U.K. from Cambridge university and back to london heathrow airport?

Cambridge-(by First Capital Connect Train)-Kings Cross–(by Underground)-London Waterloo–(by Southwest Train) –Salisbury
or Cambridge(Madingley Rd P&R)"–(by National Express-(by bus No.JL717))-interchange at "London, Heathrow airport, Central bus station" , take another bus No. SH032 -"Salisbury,Endless Street bus station, Wiltshire".

Salisbury–(by Train)–Waterloo train station–find Paddington train station(I don’tknowwhere)–(by Heathrow Express)-Lond.heathr.Airp.
(c)Salisbury-(By NationalExpress.)–Lond.Heath.airport.
Any idea?
Someone told me to go by "National Express", is it a good way?
Is the luggage storage place located outside the bus above the wheels?,
When i get off the coach, will the driver remember to open the luggage storage cover for me to take back my luggage -(if i get off the bus, i am afraid the driver will drive away because not every passengers has luggages.)-(maybe I sit far away from the driver, i cannot talk to him at the moment i get off the coach at another door to remind him to let me take back my belongings first. (i assume that one would get off the coach at another door.)
Please forgive me for my silly questions, for i’ve never gone by coach in the uk.
In past travelling experience in package tour, the luggage storage place is located outside the travel coach.
Thanks
Hire a car. Probably be cheaper and less hassle.
If you are unsure of anything just ask the guy at the train station and there are information points at all the mainline stations.

What is the least expensive way to get from Heathrow to the Belsize Park tube station and how would I go?
There will be 2 adults with luggage (one bag and one carry on each) arriving at noon on a Saturday. Thanks so much for your help!
The cheapest way would be to take the tube (London Underground). You can get this direct from the airport terminal and travel on the Piccadilly line to Leicester Square, then change to the Northern line to Belsize Park. The journey would probably take up to a couple of hours allowing for changes.
The cost (maximum £4.00 per person) is a lot less than other options such as Heathrow Express or taxi, but you’d have to carry your luggage around, possibly up some stairs or escalators, and on a Saturday the tube is likely to be pretty crowded.
But it’s definitely the cheapest way and I’ve taken luggage on the tube in this way before, I’d rather save the money to enjoy myself at my destination!
Taxi or tube from Heathrow to Hyde Park Ramada?
Looking for advice on how to get from Heathrow to Hyde Park Ramada. Does anyone know if there is a shuttle or the approx. cost of a taxi? Tube? Bus? First time to London - can’t wait!
I would take the Heathrow Express.
When you arrive at the airport, just follow the signs for Public Transportation.. there will be signs for the tube and for the Express.The Express takes you into the center of London in about 15 minutes.. its direct, no stops.
You arrive at Paddington Train Station. And from there you can either:
walk outside and take a short cab ride to your hotel, if you have alot of luggage.
OR, if you can handle your luggage– follow the signs to the Underground — which will take you to the Paddington TUBE Station. From there, take the District/Central tube line to the Notting Hill station (which is very close, it should be the very first stop)
- And also to note– I definitely recommend you use the Tube alot while you’re in London. Its verry efficient. And buy an Oyster card right away (they come in different daily increments).. it is "pre-paying" and allows you unlimited use on those days.
Check out the links below. The second one has a great feature– Journey Planner. You can enter in your destinations and it will tell you the different options for getting there, how long it’ll take, if there will be stairs, etc….
Have a great time in London.. i love it there. I fell in love w/ that city. My first trip was March 2005.. and then I went back June/July 2005, November 2005 and then again.. Sept 2006. I’m kinda addicted and am missing it!!
How much will it cost to take a taxi from Heathrow Airport to Hyde Park in London?
We’re traveling there soon and are trying to decide if it’s cheaper to take a taxi or the Heathrow Express for four people. Thank you.
Why not just take the London Underground - The Piccadilly line runs from all terminals at Heathrow direct to Hyde Park - by far the cheapest and quickest way to do that journey. The trains are designed for people with luggage so that’s no problem.
