GETTING FROM THE AIRPORT

London's main airport gateways are Heathrow in the west, Gatwick in the south, and Stansted north east. City airport is the most central, to the east. Enlarge the Google map above to find them.

You can get express (surface mainline) trains to the central terminals. Paddington for Heathrow, Victoria for Gatwick, and Liverpool St for Stansted.Visit London's airport transfer information page details the options

You can get taxis.I advise you to only use London's black cabs who are all licensed. Approximate fares can be found at Transport for London. Taxis accommodate a minimum of 5 people, and there are also 7 seaters. Transport for London have a list if you wish to prebook.

You can get coaches. Click here for coach information.

You can get the tube from Heathrow. A downloadable map is available at VisitLondon.

 

AROUND THE CITY

Walking is without doubt the best way to take it all in and really experience the capital. But don't be deceived as to the possible distances. Central London consists of three separate cities, The City, Westminster, and Southwark. It can make sense to plan sightseeing accordingly to reduce unneccesary use of transport.
