London does public transit well and this is no exception. The best way to travel from airport into the city. Use it everytime I am in town.

Very fast, very easy way to get from Heathrow into London. Even for this California girl who has never taken public transportation, this was a breeze. Get your ticket, hop the train with your luggage, and you are in London's Paddington Station before you know it. read more

Being a person who prefers to dole out a bit of cash to make my life easy I found the Heathrow Express to be my saving grace whilst hauling shit loads of German souvenirs around the place after my time in Berlin. Also being a nervous nelly the reliability of the trains and the ease of using them made my vacation to London a lot less stressful. read more

Supposedly the most expensive train ride per mile.... Well worth it. I used to use a car service to Heathrow which could run quite a bit more than the express and takes much longer. Especially when I travel alone for business this is absolutely the easiest and best way to get to LHR. read more

The seats are comfy. The wifi is free. The customer service was helpful. I kind of wish this ride was more than 15 minutes so I can take a nap! read more

From what I can tell, most anyone giving this less than 4 stars is really complaining about the high cost of taxi cabs to the airport. By comparison, the Heathrow Express is dramatically cheaper (you'll save 40 pounnds), fast if not faster (15 minutes once you leave the station) and quiet (except for the ads they flog to you on the in-car screens). Really the best way to get to the airport in London. read more

Very efficient but use Express ticket to enter @ Heathrow & exit @ Paddington or you will but charged on your Oyster card. Made this mistake not understanding the system. read more

Expensive but a great transportation option to Heathrow! Trains are immaculate and quick trip to airport. Couldn't get wifi on my iPhone though. Will definitely use Heathrow Express on future trips. read more

Just after picking up our luggages and while heading to exit, 2 Heathrow Express sales assistants stood there and were selling tickets. 2 way ticket to Paddington cost £34 and from there we took a taxi to hotel. Heathrow Express is clean, fast, comfortable and it even has TV screens showing news and weather. It reminds me of Tokyo Narita Express just the Narita one has mobile coffee service instead of TV. So it's an easy way to get very quick to hotel and it's still a good deal in a big city. read more

It took me 15 minutes and I paid 20 pounds. I could take a slower and less expensive train, but had to wait for an hour. The cars are very clean and modern. read more

Heathrow Express is absolutely worth the cost, especially if you're navigating with luggage. Far more comfortable than the tube, fast, direct, and free wifi! read more

I haven't taken the Heathrow Express for a while. Yeah, it's a great service, but given that - for a £20 adult ticket - you end up paying £1.33 per minute it really does take the piss (and then some). Take the new Orient Express - which does London-Venice in about 30 hours and includes a 4-course dinner. This works out at £1.10 per minute. Sure, apparently it's not as good as the old one, but there's something really wrong with this picture. For the not-so-London-savvy, sure, it can be a godsend, but I just can't justify the expense. read more

It is expensive to take this, however, it was more convenient and still cheaper than taking a cab from Chiswick to the airport. Not to mention we didn't have to deal with traffic and we could just relax and sleep. If you want to go to the cheap you can do Heathrow connect, however, we found that this has fewer stops. Think of it as the B-line from station to station to UBC (If you're in Vancouver). We also wanted to take this express as it was the only chance the bestie and I had the opportunity to head to Paddington station to see the iconic Paddington bear statue. read more

We only took this to transfer between terminals because we had time to get into London and didn't need to pay the 20 lbs. The connection was easy on these beautiful and clean trains The purple color reminded me of my alma mater. The wait, even at nighttime, wasn't too long and there were LED displays that let you know when the train was coming. The only confusion was during the night, when you have to take the last car of the train if you are just doing a terminal transfer. But the efficiency and cleanliness and ease of catching this train reminds me of why I like to take British tube and trains in general. I gave this 4 stars only because if I had to travel to central London, 20 lbs would seem hefty even for a 15 minute quick ride. read more

The best, the fastest and the cheapest way to get into the city from Heathrow. Skip the First Class tickets as the ride is only about 22 minutes long. Drops you at Paddington Station a reasonable taxi ride to most anywhere in the city. I did a taxi once before I discovered the Express and it cost 75 pounds! the roundtrip on the express is only 32. unless you have a large group go with the express for the best value and speed to the city. read more

Having paid the hefty (£43 for two adults) ticket price I was expecting to at least get to Paddington quickly and easily. Sadly this was not to be. The Heathrow Express train never arrived and was delayed indefinitely so the staff couldn't provide an expected arrival time and we had to catch a much slower (and now quite crowded) alternative. No refund was offered. Very disappointed. read more

Quick and hassle free service to Heathrow from Central London. Clean and equipped with wifi but on the pricey side. It was a saving grace for us who had taxi trouble in the early hours of the day. Sometimes its great to have more options even if you have to pay a little extra just to make it to the airport on time. read more

Get the Explorer Ticket: this includes unlimited travel on the Tube for the day, and it's only 15min to Paddington Station from Heathrow Airport. However, it's not offered in all terminals (I think we navigated to Terminal 1). read more

Massively overpriced means of travelling to the airport. It's only good value compared to the equally extortionate price charged by taxis. If you are local it is much cheaper and more convenient to travel by car, so unless you are paying by company credit card or a tourist, steer well clear. read more

Fabulous! Quick easy way to get out of Heathrow, not overly expensive, took me into Paddington, which was a hop, skip & stone's throw from where I was staying in Bayswater. Wish we had something like it in NYC, especially to JFK, which is a nightmare..... I was in a rush going back to Heathrow (was a little late getting back to Victoria from Brighton!), so grabbed the Express (yes, that extra 10 minutes or so was important!). Really, kudos to London for these wonderful trains!!!!! read more

IMHO the best way to get from heathrow to paddington with your luggage yes you could take the underground and save some money but it's going to take way longer and be a totall pia. Everyti e I need to get out of heathrow I always use heathrow express......there's also free wifi as a bonus read more

It might be a little expensive, but for me, it's perfect. In only 15-20 minutes it takes you straight into central London, the trains are usually always at the platform when you arrive at the station, always on time and very nice inside. The Connect might be cheaper, but the Express is perfect. read more

This was such a nice mode of transportation to get where we needed to go. It is expensive, but it was worth taking such a clean, quiet, and fast service. We stayed at the Heathrow Marriott and caught the free Heathrow Central Shuttle. From the Heathrow Central Bus Station, we walked to the Heathrow Express Ticket information booth. We purchased our tickets there and off we went to Paddington. It was better than stopping at every stop. There is a conductor who will check your tickets. Remember to get a round-trip ticket (return) to save time in waiting in line again to get back to the Airport area. Thank you to the people who thought of this mode of transportation! read more

Terribly pricey and the trip to Paddington was delayed taking the same time as would have been the Underground. When I requested a partial refund on the r/t- I got the run-around despite completing on line forms. Would not take this service again. read more

I love taking the Heathrow Express. It's a very comfortable 15-minute ride between Paddington and Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, and 3, which relieves so much of the headache of traveling. It even plays the news on TVs inside. Yes, you pay quite a bit for it, but to me, it is absolutely worth it. If I have the time and arrive at Paddington (or Heathrow) close to when a Heathrow Connect will depart, I might opt for that instead to save money. Personally though, I still prefer the Heathrow Express because I like to save time anywhere I can when I'm traveling because I just don't know what else might delay me on the way to my destination. read more

Fast, efficient, secure and affordable transit into central London from Heathrow airport, really the best way to go! When I say "secure" it doesn't make stops between Heathrow and Paddington. Sometimes, when trains make many stops along the way, your baggage, etc. can be more insecure. It runs every 15 minutes and only takes 15 minutes to central london. At the time of this writing, it's 20 GBP one-way. Train cars are well taken care of, new and very comfortable. If you want to save money, you could take the Underground, BUT it makes every stop and takes almost 1.5 hours! Instead, if you can afford it, definitely take the Heathrow Express!! read more

I have to see a friend off at Heathrow later. There are engineering works today affecting the Piccadilly line, and the tfl journey planner is routing me via the Paddington Heathrow Express. So, I check whether my Oyster card is valid for the journey, and find out that not only is it not valid, but the journey costs £20 one way and £34 return!? What?? Guys, spend some time in Paris and you'll come to realise just how much we are ripped off over here in Britain for public transport. That is a stupendous amount to pay for a 15 minute journey. Hell, the fares to Paris by Eurostar can be as cheap as £59 return. Retail stores only bring prices down if their goods don't sell so I'd advise people not to reward this rip-off service and use the tube where you can instead. Maybe then they'll see sense and bring the prices down. I agree with another poster here in that even if you did like the sound of being at Heathrow in 15 minutes, having to get to Paddington if you live to the east or south of London would really reduce, or perhaps erase the time saving. Rip off Britain at it's finest. Use the tube instead if you can. read more

Useless service. On Sunday, October 28, the service from Paddington was completely interrupted due to technical problems and I was forced to take a taxi to avoid missing my flight. I have demanded that they reimburse me the amount of the taxi, but the company only returns the cost of the ticket; so I lost 72 pounds because of them. Ok, it's their delay policy; but from now on, I am aware that if I buy a ticket I risk missing my flight or being forced to pay much more for another kind of transportation; so I will not trust Heathrow Express anymore. read more

Nice easy ride to Paddington Station. While it is pricey, the time to take by the underground or price of a car, makes it well worth it.

expensive but quick! 15 miles in 15 min! if i had the time to spare, i would have taken the picadilly line. But, my train in from Leeds was delayed 75 mins so I panicked and needed to get to the airport asap. you can buy tickets online (cheapest), at the station (medium), or on the train (expensive). Its comfy and quick. There is also free wifi. sold! read more

#Yelp #Yelp365 37 - Miriam said it best, small price to pay for your sanity. I stay in Paddington when visiting London, and this is the best option to get to the hotel in 30 minutes. Arriving at Paddington allows for a 3 minute walk to hotel check in. The trains are very clean and offer free wifi. When arriving at LHR, I have to exit the train typically to connect to arrive at the terminal that Delta departs out of. The fare is much cheaper then a taxi or car service. read more

AMAZING! quick and efficient, free wifi - right into paddington station. why on earth would we pay for a cab or private car? This is totally the way to go when in london!!! The ride is under 20 minutes so dont waste the money on "first class" you dont need it. read more

Fast, clean and efficient. Perhaps a bit expensive, but you get what you pay for. I took this twice during a summer visit to London and it was by far the best part of the tube experience. The seats were great, there wasn't the overcrowding issue you ran into on the regular trains, and I loved the whole atmosphere. The funniest part was the advertising found in the seats that revolved around Krispy Kreme. That's such a non-brand in the Boston area and to see how it was so popular in London was kind of cool. My friend and I did miss the train we wanted to get on, but the wait time for the next one wasn't bad at all. I recommend taking it so you can experience at least one great train ride while in London. read more

Just love this service. .. straight off the plane, 34 pounds return straight into London, no messing about. Trains every 15 mins, not even my wife would be late for a meeting!! :) read more

The service is exactly what is says it is, one stop from Paddington Station To Heathrow. The "meh" rating is for them charging around 20 pounds for the trip in "express saver" class, which is bascially "drain the tourists of their money". read more

Easy and fast transport to paddington. The cost is a bit much. If you have 2-3 people it's cheaper to take a taxi typically.

Single best way to get from the airport to central London. this is a must. On the downside, 18GBP (almost $40 with the current crappy exchange rate) for a 15 minute train ride just sucks. Still the best thing going though so I'll be paying it again on the way back to the airport on sunday. read more

The way to go for a quick stress free trip to Heathrow. And Free Wi-Fi! Who could ask for more?! Padding ton station has a lot to offer shopping and food, and links to the tube to most other routes to the area. read more

Clean, comfortable, and quick (15 minutes non-stop) to Paddington Station from Heathrow Airport. Definitely worth the money - have used it on several trips to London and always been satisfied. Usually can save a couple of dollars by searching for online coupon. read more

So convenient between Heathrow and central London. First class does not cost much more than regular price. Comfortable seats with plenty of luggage space. Paddington rail station connects to the London Underground.Will definitely be using this train in the future read more
