As our hotel was located near Paddington station, the journey on the Heathrow Express was very quick and, as the train was not full of passengers, very pleasant. The app was a little problematic.

Easy to find at the airport (Terminal 3) when in a hurry, and only 15 minutes into Central London. I made my 22:03 train to Taunton after my plane landed at 20:40, with at least 15 minutes to spare. Not at all bad!
