Very quick and effective way to get to Paddington Station from London Heathrow. I love that it was direct and we didn't have to wait for multiple stops after an eight hour flight. It is a little tricky to figure out how to get to the train but the Heathrow express people were very nice and accommodating on giving us directions at the airport.

Utterly dependable, Heathrow Express is there for a comfortable, easy to navigate option to help the airline traveler. There are so many delays and unforeseen problems when traveling. I always book Heathrow Express at the same time I book my flights from Boston to London. The discount from booking in advance is terrific. And comforting when there are so many expenses one encounters in traveling !

Hop on the Heathrow Express and zoom directly to London Paddington Station and the heart of London in under 20 minutes.

These one-way transfers are the fastest ways to and out of Central London, with connections running every 15 minutes across the day.

Onboard, you can stow away your luggage, kick back in AC coaches, charge your devices at your seat, and stay connected with free Wi-Fi.

Book your ticket 30 days in advance to knock a few bucks off the fare. The further ahead you book, the higher the discount you avail!

Once you reach London Paddington, hop on any of the intra-city transport services and underground lines to take you to popular destinations.

Fast, efficient and easy from Paddington main line. The station conductor was immensely kind. It would help to advise that the train to Termjnal 4 departs from the same station where the Terminal 2 and 3 train stops. Several of us on the platform were uncertain about this. Highly recommended service.

Yes great experience, the only thing that would make the process easier is being able to add your pass to your Apple wallet. Too difficult to navigate when rushing to the train.
