How Far is Heathrow Airport from Tufnell Park Tube station, North London?
How far is the distance and how long does it take by taxi?
Cheers
Heathrow is on the other side of the city from Tufnell Park. It can take up to an hour by taxi, maybe longer, depending on how heavy the traffic is.
You can take the Underground to Heathrow. Take the Northern Line from Tufnell Park tube station and then transfer to the Piccadilly Line at Leicester Square (via Charing Cross) or Kings Cross/St. Pancras (via Bank). The Piccadilly Line will take you direct to Heathrow.
Is there a park and ride in liverpool?
We are coming down for one night and will arrive in Liverpool around 9pm on Friday night (staying at the city centre Travelodge) and will leave about 6ish on Saturday evening. Is there somewhere we could park and ride (to the North of Liverpool) or could park them flag a taxi? If not, is there anywhere we can park for the whole time not too expensively?
there are loads of city centre car parks in Liverpool but overnight is not going to be that cheap in most of them. THere are also a handful of pay and display NCP ones on wasteground which might not necessarily be that secure overnight.
One or two hotels though have a £5 a day parking scheme - notably the Liner hotel next to Lime Street station and the Ibis on the Strand (waterfront) - where you’ll need to park up then get a permit from inside the hotel. - The strand one would be relatively handy for getting buses from the liverpool one bus station up to the north of the city - and either of these will have loads of black cabs in the vicinity.
how far is sefton park from liverpool city centre?
how much would the taxi cost to get there?
Do you mean the Park or the area. Sefton Park is the largest park in South Liverpool and two to three miles from Central or Lime Street Station.
One side is best approached from Aigburth and the other from Ullet Road. I suspect that you are moving into student accommodation there. If you are, be careful as a student you are an easy target. When my wife worked in a bank she often had a youngster in saying they had this wonderful accommodation just by the Park. Next thing they had been broken into. Liverpool is no worse than any other large city but beware as a student in unfamiliar surroundings you are vulnerable for the first term anyway to the efforts of the local shits.
On the positive side you will find that most people have time for you and are friendly, helpful.and will laugh with you not at you. Most students look back on their time here with affection.
£5 or £6 at the most at a guess because I do not generally use a taxi
Best option for taxi to Willesden Green/Queen’s Park - Luton or Heathrow?
We (couple) will be taking a taxi from either Luton airport or Heathrow airport to Willesden Green station or Queen’s Park station in London. Which will be cheaper? How long will each take? How much should we expect to pay?
Will be travelling with lots of luggage but if anyone knows of equally convenient ways to travel to and from the same places please feel free to leave a comment on that too.
There are various public transport option but if you’ve got tonnes of luggage and need a direct transfer, I would recommend looking at options other than a black cab because these are ridiculously expensive, especially since there is often lots of traffic.
My recommended option would be to get an airport transfer with a car service. I use these people www.airportmpvservices.co.uk and they are excellent. They are a set price and these are the best rates that I’ve found in London for this type of thing. They even meet you at the gate and help you with your luggage. Ask for Joyce.
If you know people around the area that you are going to, you could ask them to help you organise a mini-cab (which is a car with a driver which you pay a set fee to go to a certain destination). Mini-cabs are cheaper than black cabs but are run by little local companies so unlikely that you’ll find them on the net.
Generally you will find it easier to get back to central London from Heathrow because distance wise it is much closer than Luton (which is an hour or so north of the city).

I dont know where to park at Gatwick!!!?
Help me! Lol.
My mum is going to gatwick on Sunday and she doesn’t know where she can park near it? Any answers.
Also is there a local taxi number that you could give me for gatwick?
Help meee please. =)
I dont want to be parking at Gatwick tho. I want to park near it.
There are two types of parking at Gatwick: Long Term and Short Term.
When you arrive at Gatwick there are clear signs for the long term car park. However if you’re looking to save money you can shop around. The Simply Parking site below shops around for you and states the best price. All the out of airport long term sites have buses into the North & South Terminal. However prepare to add at least 30 minutes to your journey so you don’t miss the really long queues at check in.
Short Term? For either North or South Terminal follow the signs first to the terminal then to the short term car park. Only use this if you’re meeting someone or seeing them off. The costs are very high over a very short time period.
Dropping Off, you can literally set someone down, but just don’t think about staying there any longer than it takes to take the bags out of the car. You will be moved along very quickly, or worse given a ticket.
Bon Voyage!
