London's busiest airport, Heathrow Airport is located on the outskirts of West London and is well connected to the city by public and private transport. You can choose from a variety of transport options. The distance between the airport and central London is around 15 miles, and journey times depend on factors such as the mode of transport you choose, the time you start your journey and the volume of traffic on the day. Public transport is available at certain times, and another option is private transfer services that run 24 hours a day.

Train connections to central London

London Heathrow Airport is on the Piccadilly line of the Underground network. It is easy to get to any part of the city as the tube system extends from the airport to north-east London. Trains run every 4 to 9 minutes from the airport. If you don't have a lot of luggage with you, travelling by tube is not a problem. You can also take the Heathrow Express, which runs from the airport. There are 4 trains an hour between Heathrow and Paddington station, non-stop. If you want to travel west, you can take the Heathrow Connect instead of going all the way to Paddington station. The train stops at Ealing Broadway, West Ealing, Hanwell, Southall and Hayes.
