Stansted to LHR options

rstoughy · 07-02-2014, 02:41 PM

One for the locals,
I need to get from Stansted to LHR terminal 5.
I have had a look online but it seems to be a bit of a mare.

Any local knowledge of a nice simple way? (I won't have a car).

Cheers

stanstead to London liv street I think.
tube from Liv st to Paddington
Paddington express to Heathrow (takes 15 mins!)
don't bother with the Piccadilly line as it takes about 1 hour 15 to get from town. its a joke!

As per Das Chin. Circle line (anti clockwise) Liverpool Street to Paddington. Although I would add that the Express service from Paddington to Heathrow is extortionate. The slow boat (Circle line to Kings Cross and then Piccadilly line to Heathrow is a lot cheaper if you have are not in a rush ~£3.60 ish).

Depends on money & time but I have done this route many times.

Stansted to Totenham Hale. Pick up Victoria line to Finsbury Park walk across platform then Picadilly line to Heathrow.

Plane's, trains and automobiles.

Taxi might just be the easiest option for a Scottisher like me

If you need a quote from my local exec taxi firm let me know.

Half way between the two locations and gonna be cheaper than an airport taxi.
