£ 30.00 compares very favourably to the £ 50.00 you would pay as a family of 2 adults and 2 kids on the Heathrow Express. If you’re travelling as a couple or as a family, then the otherwise expensive option of getting Uber starts to make a lot of sense.


If you don’t fancy riding the rails, then this is probably the best option for the open road. Cons: Time dependent-avoid this option at rush hour at all costs, unless you really like being jostled and jeered at by commuters.And you get to ride the famous Tube and hear the man say ‘Mind the Gap’ hundreds of times! Go underground (well, for some of the way) and take the dark blue line to Zone 1. An adventure! Ride the top deck and see the real London. Price: £ 1.55 with contactless card/Oyster.
