Transport - London

Airports:
The main international airport serving London is Heathrow. The airport provides all that you would expect to find in any international airport in the western world. Access to London is easy with a Heathrow Express rail service with fast, frequent trains operating from Heathrow to London Paddington. The journey time is 15 minutes and the trains run every 15 minutes. A single fare is £14.50 and it costs £28 for a return ticket. There are also underground trains that run into London from the airport and these cost about £5. They run every five minutes with a journey time of about one hour.

There are frequent coach services throughout the day taking between forty five and eighty five minutes into the City.

Taxis run from outside the terminals and will cost from £45 to £50 taking about one hour to get into London.

London Transport:
Most people travelling around London either use the underground railway, ‘the tube,’ or the bus services. Tube services are extensive with numerous stations and regular trains to carry
you around the capital or beyond. The bus services are continuous running through all the main thoroughfares throughout London. Fares are very reasonable both on the tube and the buses.

London’s black cabs are famous throughout the world and can be seen plying their trade twenty four hours a day. An idea of the cost is that a four mile journey taking between fifteen and thirty minutes during the day will be between £10 and £14’s.
