Well, you could take the tube, but you'd have to change at Holborn to the Central line. You may be better off, with three of you, using a car service like Just Airports.

Haven't you found the Harry Potter tour website?

Just a note about Bishopsgate. Bishopsgate itself is a busy street, and not that attractive visually, but it does have very good transport links, and the area back from the street (all the alleyways around Spitalfields Market) is a bit more interesting. There are plenty of alternatives for eating out in the neighbourhood, and I'd quite like to be able to afford to live there, put it that way.

Trying to book a private car from Heathrow to our hotel (196 Bishopsgate) when putting in the drop off location what "area" is Bishopsgate considered? I want to make sure I put in the right area. None of the sites let you put your actual hotel name or address, weird?

When you book a car you generally use the post code, not the 'neighborhood', nor street address. . . you use either the full post code or the first 2 or 3 fields - In your case either "<B>EC2</B>" or "<B>EC2M 4NR</B>".
