Home Getting There Heathrow By Train
PDF Print E-mail
Heathrow is served by a good number of public transport options including the London underground, buses and coaches. It can make a great deal of sense to leave the car at home and get on the bus or train, so you don't have to worry about parking, driving jet lagged on your return. An added bonus in that you can have a couple of drinks to end that holiday or business trip.
