I have 8 hours between flights the best transportation downtown (nice and fun)

This has been answered ~ ~ Oh, I'd say about 1,000 times on this board. Look for yourself.

Fast but not cheap - Heathrow Express into Paddington, about 24 pounds round trip each, trains every 15 minutes, total journey time 15 to 20 minutes. I think the website is heathrowexpress.co.uk? Good luck.

Please note, XxXx, that Sue's post probably took all of 10 seconds more than yours to post. If you had nothing to say, why not save your time already? Sue has totally answered the question by spending only 10 seconds more than you did just being rude.<BR>Sure it's been answered, but it only takes a simple answer once again. Big deal.

Hi Andre<BR><BR>To get downtown you can also take the tube from Heathrow, switch to the District or Circle Lines at Earls Court or South Kensington terminals. Get off at Westminster tube stop for Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, or Tower Hill for Tower of London and Tower Bridge. To get to Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden, transfer to the Piccadilly Line at Earls Court or South Kensington. <BR><BR>The tube can be crowded during rush hour if you are going into town in the morning or out of town in the evening.<BR><BR>Tube stops are shown on the street maps and the terminals are well marked. <BR><BR>I would recommend an all zone pass which you can purchase at the Heathrow terminal which is also good for the buses. I believe the price is about 7 GBP.
