Warwick Avenue is on the Bakerloo, the first station north of Paddington towards Queens Park. It is…read morein Travelcard Zone 2 and has automated ticket vending machines, Oyster readers and a ticket barricade. An odd station with no buildings at street level, it is accessed first by stairs (which were helpfully covered on this particularly rainy day) to the ticketing level and then escalators down to the platform level. Warwick Avenue is a part of London called "Little Venice" so of course there is a waterbus service that runs from nearby to the London Zoo and Camden Lock. Note that there is a Boris bike stand just across the street.

Lots of great memories although not the most heart and soul filled neighbuorhood to any degree, but also has some great attractions nearby which is impossible not to love. And it's gorgeous... one of the prettiest.

I learned later that it's actually a "listed" building and won a National Railway Heritage Award. The Wikipedia entry goes on to mention that it's been in a couple of movies, a TV show and even a music video. No step-free access. There is a flight of stairs down from the street level to the ticketing level and then an escalator down to the platform level. There is a staffed ticket booth and automated ticket vending machines as well as Oyster readers and ticket barricades.

No contact from the company to update us. Only after 15 do they decide to send a taxi that isn't stuck in traffic. Rang up to complain and got called 'mate' repeatedly, despite having asked them to call me 'sir', since I was making a formal complaint! Wouldn't pass me on to a manager. Eventually get a text addressing me with the wrong name ('Helen' rather than 'Callum'...) saying 'your car is just around the corner' but still had to wait. Driver wouldn't set off until we'd paid the fare in full in advance, which no one in the right mind would do. They threatened to call the police when we refused, so we got out of the taxi, still not having moved an inch, and hailed a black cab. Cost us twice the price, but at least it was service with a smile.

This post is about the HE in general…read more One of the reasons I like lhr is this Heathrow Express, a direct light rail that takes all but 15 minutes to Paddington Station in the city. I purchased tickets in advance, £10 one way (£25 on the spot). They're on time. The interior is clean. The seats are comfortable, although a little old, with charging ports.

Five stars for the convenience, three stars because of the price -- averaged together, that makes a…read moresolid four stars for the Heathrow Express train! This is by far the most convenient option from London proper to Heathrow Airport, but you'll pay for that convenience. Where you could reach the airport via a local train for much less, shell out the 20 - 25 pounds per person and you can ride on a direct train with zero stops. The train runs nonstop from Paddington Station, which is easily accessible by Tube. It leaves roughly every 15 to 30 minutes, but there are frequently closures and delays so make sure you allow plenty of time for your journey. In the 4 times I've used this service, twice it's been cancelled and I had to take the regular local train, so be aware. The train stops at Heathrow but the walk from the station to the terminal is quite far (allow at least 20 minutes, and even longer if you are slow or have a ton of bags). Also make SURE that you keep your ticket out because you have to scan in AND out once you reach LHR station. The train itself is nothing fancy, but they have free wi-fi and luggage racks for the short journey. The seats are comfy enough. They often run specials, so make sure you check our their website. Sometimes there are deals if you buy group tickets and it's cheaper if you purchase your tickets far in advance. This is the easiest option to get from the city to LHR by a mile.

The fleet of cars and people carriers I have ridden in have been immaculate inside and out. Whether a last minute reservation or far in advance, Cathy has always been extremely helpful and courteous on the phone - even when I have called her in the wee hours of the morning, forgetting about the time difference.

I had a long layover in London and needed to get to Gatwick airport for my next flight. In between I decided I wanted to see some sights get some fish and chips and then get dropped off at Gatwick. Howard (the owner) was able to accommodate me and my guest without a problem. He got me a quote quickly and let me know a driver would be waiting for me at the airport. Alf came to pick us up in an immaculate S 550 sedan. He gave us a great tour of some of the sights in the city, and had great historical facts and stories to go along with every sight. His passion for the city really brought the trip to life. This layover could have easily been wasted time, but thanks to Alf and Howard it started our trip off perfectly!
