Getting to the city
Heathrow sits outside central London, so the transfer you choose shapes your day. The Underground's Piccadilly line is the steady, no-booking option; the express train into Paddington is quicker, though you pay for the speed. Coaches stop at several points in the city, and taxis or pre-booked cars are easiest with heavy bags. Allow extra time at the morning and evening peaks, and check your terminal before you set off. Moving between terminals takes real time at an airport this size.
