PostHeaderIcon Please recommend a hotel or B&B close to Terminal 1 Heathrow - cheap but nice?

My friend is flying out of terminal 1, Heathrow on Sunday, and I’m driving them to the airport. Considering driving up on Saturday and staying overnight as it’s an early start, but not sure where would be good to stay. Want to keep cost as low as possible. I will need to park my car there on the Saturday night (but assume I’ll then drive and park at Heathrow unless there’s a hotel in easy walking distance). Thanks.

This website shows all of the hotels and bbs near terminal 1. It’s also has reviews for each one from people who have stayed there.
Hope this helps :)

PostHeaderIcon 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.

PostHeaderIcon 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).

PostHeaderIcon 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.
