transit
 
Can anyone tell me how to get from Heathrow Airport to the Dorsett City Hotel located at 9 Aldgate High Street, London EC3 N1?
Is there a shuttle from the hotel?

>>Is there a shuttle from the hotel?<<

No - absolutely not. It is more than 20 miles all the way across London.

You would either take the Tube Piccadilly Line to South Kensington, then change to a Circle line train to Aldgate. It will take more than an hour . . . OR pre-book a car service like justairports.com. It will also take more than an hour and cost about £40-£45 but it would be door-to-door without a schlepp to the LHR tube station or through South Kens station.

Thank you. That is very helpful.

But it is funny.:lol:
Plus it is a warning not to use the word when in the UK, that is unless they want to drive one that is.

Our camper is a Transit. A bit more modern that that one though!

jellybaker, it is much more simple to hire justairports.

It was my one-time experience that going through customs took over an hour so I had to pay 6 pounds extra for extra parking fees. I was tired, stressed, and carrying a suitcase. Getting a ride door to door was worth every extra penny.
