Buses
There are regular bus services into central London.
Trains
The fastest and most convenient way into central London is on the Heathrow Express train, which leaves every 15 minutes for Paddington station, taking 15 minutes. Tickets can be booked on 0845 600 1515 or at www.heathrowexpress.co.uk, or purchased on the train. Paddington has good connections to the other London railway stations and all parts of London via the underground (the tube). Heathrow is also on the Piccadilly underground line, which takes passengers into central London in around 40 minutes; but is much cheaper.
Taxis
Taxis are available. Private car transfers to the city centre or other area destinations (not cheap, but may make sense if you have several people, need help, or have lots of luggage) may be pre-booked online at: Airport Transfer Service, World Airport Transfers
