London, Victoria Station
 
Is there a train or bus from Victoria Station to Heathrow Airport?? If so, how may I find the schedule???

http://www.airwise.com/airports/europe/LHR/LHR_01.html or http://www.a2bairports.com/heathrow.shtml will give you the information you need.

The easiest/cheapest is to take the tube (=underground), trains at least every 5 mins.--on the Piccadilly Line. From Victoria, you can either take a cab to Green Park station or take the Victoria Line from Victoria to Green Park (1 stop), then hop on the Piccadilly Line at Green Park--from there, the journey to Heathrow is 30-40 mins. (try to do it outside commuting hours, trains tend to get packed then).

An alternative is to take the Heathrow Express (train) to Paddington, then take the Circle or District line (underground) or a taxi to Victoria.

Heathrow Express is expensive. (Too expensive I M H O.) The tube is fast-ish and a whole lot cheaper. If you have bags galore, then a taxi is the way to go, but that too will be £££. <BR> <BR>However, if you are coming to Britain on Thanksgiving Weekend and you are American, the H Express is free, apparently.

Nigel, <BR>Where can I find a web site with the schedule and stating the free week-end for Thanksgiving ??

Fodors <BR> <BR>I agree with Mike M. <BR> <BR>To travel via Paddington or Green Park would take needless trouble, time and money. Rather, from Victoria underground station you'd take a District Line train to Hammersmith, then cross the platform to the Piccadilly Line and so go straight to Heathrow. <BR> <BR>Ben Haines, London <BR> <BR>
