Tips for arriving at London Airport

  1. Follow airport signs to the Arrivals Hall: Transfer providers typically wait at designated meeting points near exits or information desks. Check your voucher for the exact location information.
  2. Add a time buffer for luggage and immigration: At Heathrow, allow 20-40 minutes after landing before meeting your driver, especially during peak hours.
  3. Withdraw local currency if needed: ATMs and currency exchanges are located in the Arrivals area. Some taxis or smaller vendors may not accept cards, so it’s prudent to have cash in hand.
  4. Purchase a local SIM card: Telecom counters in Arrivals offer affordable tourist SIMs so you can stay connected easily and contact your driver for updates and navigation.
  5. Connect to airport Wi-Fi: Heathrow offers free Wi-Fi, making coordination with your driver or checking meeting point details easy.
  6. Know your local transport alternatives: If your pre-booked transfer is delayed, taxis, rideshares, the underground, or buses may serve as a backup. However, check fares and wait times for those before your trip.
  7. Check terminal assignment before landing: Heathrow has multiple terminals, so verify your landing terminal and meeting point in advance to avoid confusion.
  8. Keep your phone accessible: Enable roaming or data upon arrival. Your driver may call or message you for meeting point coordination.

Had the best time- booking was so easy. I took my girlfriend on the London eye as she's from sommerset and has never been on it. We went on at 5:30 and watched the sun set all over London. Big Ben, everything all hand in hand. Was magical

Very good experience with Headout. I didn't receive my e-tickets for the London Eye, so I sent an email to customer service, who replied by sending my tickets right away.

A truly immersive experience! ✨🎨 Frameless was definitely a highlight of our day out in London. I absolutely loved being completely immersed in the paintings — seeing the artwork come alive all around you was magical and such a different way to experience art. We had a wonderful time and I would definitely recommend it as something a little different to do in London. My only small suggestion would be to dim some of the spotlights within the rooms. At times they felt a little bright, and I think the colours and artwork would be even more vibrant and atmospheric without quite so much additional light. Overall, a fantastic experience and one I’m really glad we did! 💫

Easy to find. Staff friendly. Very enjoyable experience. Take your time to relax and unwind. Brings artwork more alive. You feel it. Fantastic for all ages. Kids can move around freely to make the artwork move underfoot. The storm and rain scenes make you feel you are there. The violinist is bought to life. Each and every scene, you feel

Taking the Stansted Express train is the best way to get to London from the airport. Trains depart about every 20 minutes, and the journey itself to the final stop, Liverpool Street Station, takes 45 minutes. The carriages are modern, comfortable, and air-conditioned. They have clear screens showing the current and next stations. There is free, fast Wi-Fi on the train. The departure board at Liverpool Street station is very clear. Trains to the airport are highlighted in red in the right corner of the display (see photo). The station is located right in the center of London, from where you can start exploring the city on foot.

It's super convenient for exploring multiple destinations! You can see everything you want. It would be nice to have more language options, and the seats should be cleaned after it rains.
