Don't plan any big time excursion. You face 30 to 90 mins getting out of LHR plus 2 to 3 hour check-in requirement means you have only 2.5 to 4 hours to spare. You can get into London on the Paddington Express in 15 minutes - but it takes 10 to 15 minutes to get to the train. double that for the return journey and you are down to qbout 2 hours sightseeing time.<BR><BR>So - a good alternative is to catch a cab and go to Windsor - it is only about 10 to 15 minutes to the Castle from T-3. Spend 3+ hours wandering around the town and Castle and get back to LHR.

Terminal 1-3)<BR><BR>Or take a dayroom at one of the airport hotels, rest, swim, eat, enjoy your stay, and fight against jetlag.<BR><BR>Where are u coming from and where are you going to would be another question.<BR>If it will be a longer flight (more than another 3 hrs) stay in the airport hotel.<BR>More infoes needed?<BR>Shain/eu/de/düsseldorf<BR>Also note whitch date it will be, and<BR>check out for special markets f.e.<BR><BR><BR>Actually maybe it's better to take a<BR>
