THANKS MELJ,

I have booked 2 rooms - and looking at maps and I find it looks like an easy accessible by bus or train -
We will be ending our 2 weeks of UK in London and will be going to Heathrow from this area. If we have a 10am flight - what time should we plan to leave hotel for airport. We have a Brit Rail Pass - can we take a train or should we use tube - or taxi. We will each have 1 pc of wheeled luggage?

"<i> an easy accessible by bus or train - </i>"

Not 'train' . . . which means main line railroad. It is accessible by bus and Underground/the Tube.

"<i> If we have a 10am flight - what time should we plan to leave hotel for airport</i>"

You'll want to be at LHR by a bit after 7AM so be on the tube by at least 6:45.

"<i>We have a Brit Rail Pass - can we take a train or should we use tube - or taxi. </i>"

Britrail has nothing to do w/ the Tube. It is for mainline trains. You <u>definitely</u> do not want to take a taxi. It would be massively expensive -- even split 3 ways. Your best options are the Tube if you can manage your bags on stairs - or a pre-booked car service like justairports.com The car service would be much cheaper than a cab, only a little over £10 per person.
