Question 19

How to get from the airport to the city centre?

Accepted Answer

Due to the fact London has 4 major airports, there are several ways to find your way to the centre. The main option and most popular choice is the catch a train directly to your desired stop. Heathrow for example has a train that goes to and from the airport and is extremely regular.

If you&#8217;re flying into Luton, you can take a bus to the London Underground and continue your journey from there. Because of the size of London, the underground is probably your best choice regardless of where you fly into, as it offers several stops all over the city. Driving is not very practical in London and a lot of areas require payment. A last resort (or if you do have lots of baggage) is to grab a taxi. However congestion in London is ripe and you will end up paying a fortune and taking more time to reach your destination.
