Heathrow airport is so large it is actually 4 separate airports, or terminals, with a fifth planned. Be sure you know which terminal your flight will land at or depart from.

Tube
The Piccadilly line connects Heathrow Airport to central London and the rest of the Tube system. It is the cheapest way to central London. There are trains every few minutes from approximately 0500 (0550 Sundays) to 2345 (2250 Sundays). A single ticket into central London (Zone 1) costs £4. Journey time to Piccadilly Circus is about 50 minutes. There are two Underground stations at Heathrow Airport, serving Terminal 1-3 and Terminal 4.

Train
You can also use the Heathrow Express to travel between Heathrow and Paddington station in central London.

Taxi
Taxis are available at Heathrow Airport 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. There are taxi ranks at all four terminals, as well as taxi information desks inside. The average journey time is approximately 30-45 minutes, and if four or five people travel together the fare could be lower than going by bus or train. Do not travel with anyone offering a `taxi` service inside the terminal - it is likely to be an illegal, unlicensed driver.
