    Everything went smoothly with the trains and the hop on hop off. We particularly enjoyed the riverboat trip on the Thames. The crew member that gave the highlights along the tour was informative and entertaining. A special highlight on the hop on hop off was getting to see the horses as part of VE Day celebrations.

    The trip into London was fast, trains were clean and comfortable, and the entire experience was terrific. Our family of 5 had an 8 hour layover in London, on our way to Florence, and the efficient manner of the Express allowed us time to see Abbey Road studios, recreate the iconic image for our own photo of myself and our 3 boys crossing Abbey Road, had lunch (and a Guinness or two), came across a festival along the canals, and visited The British Museum. We were back at Heathrow in plenty of time for our evening flight to Florence. It was perfect!

    I mistakenly bought a ticket in the wrong direction. The folks working the stations were friendly and able to help me navigate the entrance and exit despite my error.

    The Heathrow Express is the perfect connection from the airport to Paddington! The signs at the airport are clear and easy to follow, the train comes regularly, is reliable and reaches its destination quickly. I can highly recommend it.
  • Skip the Heathrow taxi rush

    If you’ve just arrived in London or are leaving the city, choose this speedy Heathrow Express transfer to get to the destination of your choice. Don’t worry about getting stuck in traffic or spending ages on the London Underground as these non-stop transfers will only take 15 to 21 minutes. If your flight gets delayed or you miss the train, connections are available every 15 minutes. At London’s Paddington or Heathrow Central, simply scan the QR code on your vouchers and board the train. Avail of free Wi-Fi, HEx TV, at-seat power, and dedicated luggage space during your comfortable ride. Opt for one-way or round-trip transfers and also upgrade for business class seats.

    Seamless intra-city transport

    Simply board the Heathrow Express at Heathrow Central if you arrive at Terminal 2 or 3. If your arrival is at Terminal 5, the express train leaves from this terminal’s station itself. Those who are arriving at Terminal 4, take a quick shuttle bus from the terminal to Heathrow Central.
