AIRPORT INFORMATION

THERE ARE TWO AIRPORTS FOR LONDON ARRIVALS.

A HEATHROW AIRPORT: (LHR)

THIS IS THE MOST CONVENIENT AND THE CLOSEST TO LONDON. THERE ARE 4 WAYS TO GET INTO CENTRAL LONDON FROM HEATHROW.

1 THE LONDON UNDERGROUND:

IT THE MOST TIME CONSUMING BECAUSE IT STOPS AT EVERY STATION. IT’S THE PICCADILLY LINE. IT TAKES ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU GO IN CENTRAL LONDON.

2 THE HEATHROW EXPRESS:

TRAIN WHICH IS A NEW HIGH SPEED TRAIN SERVICE THAT GOES NON STOP FROM HEATHROW TO PADDINGTON STATION IN 15 MINUTES. YOU CAN THEN EASILY TAKE A TAXI FROM PADDINGTON STATION, WHICH IS A SHORT RIDE TO ANY PLACE IN LONDON.

3 TAXI SERVICE:

THERE ARE BLACK CABS AVAILABLE AT THE AIRPORT. LONDON BLACK CABS ARE FAMOUS WORLDWIDE FOR THEIR PROFESSIONALISM AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE CITY.

4 LONDON GUEST SUITES CAR PICKUP:

LONDON GUEST SUITES COULD ARRANGE A CAR FOR YOU. THIS IS GENERALLY THE SAME COST AS A TAXI, HOWEVER THE DRIVER WILL HAVE THE KEYS TO THE APARTMENT AND WILL TAKE YOU DIRECTLY TO THE APARTMENT FROM THE AIRPORT. IN THIS CASE THE DRIVER WILL MEET YOU OUTSIDE CUSTOMS HOLDING A SIGN WITH YOUR NAME ON IT. YOU WOULD THEN PAY THE DRIVER DIRECTLY. TEN PERCENT TIP ADVISED.

A GATWICK AIRPORT; (LGW)

THIS IS THE AIRPORT, WHICH IS FURTHEST FROM LONDON. MOST PEOPLE TAKE THE GATWICK EXPRESS TRAIN INTO CENTRAL LONDON AND THEN TAXI FROM THERE. THIS IS THE HIGH SPEED TRAIN, WHICH GOES DIRECTLY INTO VICTORIA STATION. OTHERWISE YOU COULD TAKE A TAXI OR HAVE A CAR PICK YOU UP.

The driver will meet you as you exit from Customs. He will be holding a placard with your name on it . You may either pay the driver direct or arrange payment through us.
