⚡ En bref

Most visitors land at Heathrow: the Elizabeth line runs direct to Paddington, Bond Street, Tottenham Court Road and Liverpool Street in under 40 minutes, and the Piccadilly line is the cheaper, slower alternative. From Gatwick, Stansted and Luton a train takes you to the centre.

🕑 Vous atterrissez quand ?

Nous comptons 30 minutes entre l'atterrissage et le quai ou l'arrêt (passeport, bagages).

✈️ London Heathrow Airport (LHR)

Heathrow is about 24 km west of the centre. The Elizabeth line is the best choice for most hotels: direct, one fare, under 40 minutes. The Piccadilly line is cheaper and runs all night on Fridays and Saturdays, but takes about 50 minutes. Heathrow Express is the fastest, but only goes to Paddington and costs the most.
