Remember, you can get a Visitors Travel Card from your travel agency or local British Travel centre before your trip.
If you get a Travel card from London, you´ll be needing a passport size picture for the card, but if you get it upfront, you won´t be needing that.

Heathrow Express is the non-stop train service that offers the fastest option between Heathrow Airport and central London. Services run from 0502 to 2347 (from Heathrow) every 15 minutes - the journey time - just 15 minutes. It runs from Heathrow to Paddington Station.
It stops at terminals 1,2,3 and also at terminal 4





London Underground
Heathrow has two stations on London Underground's Piccadilly Line, one station for Terminals 1, 2 & 3 and one for Terminal 4.

Average journey time to central London is approximately 50 to 60 minutes. Tubes run every five minutes at peak times and every nine minutes at off-peak times and weekends:

The first train for central London leaves at 05.08 (05.57 on Sundays)

Location of Terminals at Heathrow
Terminals 1, 2 & 3 are all located in the centre of the airport and are within walking distance of each other via underground walkways. Terminal 4 is located on the south side of the airport, and can be reached from Terminals 1, 2 & 3 via the free inter-terminal transfer service on the Heathrow Express train, which takes approximately eight minutes.

:devil: Hahahahah, okay, from Waterloo station you change into the underground, and choose one of the three choices, Northern Line and change at Tottenham Court Road,
Bakerloo Line and change at Oxford Circus or
Jubilee line and change at Bond Street.
From all those 3 stations you change to Central line and get off at Queensway station :p
