Which station is the easiest to change on Piccadilly Line when travelling from Heathrow to Victoria?
I will travel from Heathrow station to Victoria station on Sunday evening.
I want to avoid stairs or walking as much as possible because of suite cases and other luggages and because my mother has hip replacement.
Also, I find some station like Earl’s Court is quite confusing to change as District Line has many different destinations and signs are not so clear.
Could anyone tell me which station is the easiest to change please?
District Line: Hammersmith, Barons Court, Earl’s Court, Gloucester Rd, South Kensington
Victoria Line: Green Park.
Thank you for your time and help!!
Hammersmith or Baron’s Court - the transfer from Piccadilly to District lines is across the platform on both stations.
Parking my car at Gatwick Airport, has anyone else ever done that?
I am looking on line at where to park my car but prices range from £46 to over £100 I am wanting to park the car for a fortnight and the car parks are all different, all have free transport to the hotel but I am worried as I have never done this before, If anyone can suggest a company that they have used then please let me know. Thanks
I’ve used Purple Parking before (http://www.purpleparkin.co.uk/) - both at Gatwick and Heathrow. I have found them to be reliable and efficient.
A fortnight in March at Gatwick costs £52.50 for normal parking.
If you wanted to do it in style, then Purple Parking do "meet and greet" (where you drop your car off at the terminal and they park it. Then they bring it back to the terminal when you arrive) and costs from £97.50.
I’ve used the meet and greet at Heathrow before, and it was very hassle free (I also checked the mileage, and they hadn’t driven the car more than a 10 mile round trip to park it wherever they stored it whilst i was away).
I am picking up from terminal 3 at Heathrow. Where is a good place to wait nearby?
I am picking up from Terminal 3 at Heathrow and want to arrive in plenty of time but the parking charges at the airport are too expensive. Is there a good place nearby I can wait and get a coffee etc without parking fees?
There are a couple of McDonalds on the Bath Road which forms the Northern boundary of the airport you can wait in one of those and either will allow you to drive into T3 pick-up in around 15 minutes.

is england better than the republic of ireland?
I believe England is better than ROI because we have better infrastructure- our roads are better than ROI’s, England has more motorways, our motorways have 3 or 4 lanes whilst ROI only have 2 lane motorways. We have more trains and much more light rail networks in our cities. We have the eurostar that connects us to France. England’s public transport system is much more efficient than ROI. We have more airports here, in London alone there is gatwick, stansted, city airport, luton and heathrow, thats 5 airports. I can only thnk of 3 airports in ROI, Dublin, Cork and Shannon, the latter is hanging by a thread! Our airports are much more bigger and modern with more shops and service in them. We have loads of amusement parks here and ROI has none??? (I think). We have more high rise buildings here. There are more shops and services here. Our NHS system is better than your public health service, in ROI your an outcast if you have a medical card? but over here, everyone has one regardless of social class. Our cities are bigger than yours, the population of London is bigger than the pop. of all of ROI!!! There is much more to do over here. There are much more job oppurtunities over here and other oppurtunities. There are more celebrities in England and there is more of a media culture here. I could ramble on but I won’t anymore, i think ive said enough, I used to live in ROI for a while and these are the differences that I noticed whilst living there. What do you guys think???????????????
i have lived in both…..england, ireland and scotland the best place by far….is ireland. no matter what country you live in there is advantages and disavantages in living in every country. i dont know why you seem to hink having high rise bulidings is good because i hateeeeeeeeeee them, they are that nice to look at….give me a beautiful scenery of sea, land and FRESH AIR any day…ireland is much more nicer. alot of ugly buildings in england and people are not as friendly. also who cares if celebs live there…you are so naive…much more important things in life than celebs lol….and advantages of living in ireland THE PAY is much better!!! houses are HUGE and people can actually have land to bulid there own house!! so from some who is experience and not as naive as you …id say IRELAND!!!
