If you have arrived at London Heathrow Airport there a few tips that will help you get around, get out of the terminal and get transport into London. Traveling by Car, Cab, Tube or Airport Express Train are all options so which one is best for you?

With the millions of tourists traveling to London every year the transport system and public areas can get pretty crowded. To keep in good with the locals and allow people to get where they need to go in London stand to the right of the escalators. This allows a free space on the left for those keen enough or wanting to to get past and on their way.

It is not a matter of filling up every step as full as possible as some of the escalators in London, especially on the Tube can be quite long and you won't be popular if you can't get out of the way of the busy local trying to get up faster.

London is full of tourists all the time. And the locals find it pretty frustrating when visitors get to the London Underground (Tube) gates and then try to find their oyster card or train ticket. The ticket gates/turnstiles can move alot of people through fast so if you are traveling on the Tube have your ticket ready before you get to them.

The Tube doesn't run all night long in London. So if you were expecting that London, being the vibing bustling metropolis, would have all night transport then sadly you are wrong. Be aware of this. Most trains have their last run between 12.30 - 1.00am. Don't get caught out as getting home otherwise can be a pain in the butt.

There are night buses if you are caught out after the Tube shuts but these are harder to work out and you may share the seat with an inebriated, smelly dude.

Black Cabs are cool. No doubt. But Heathrow Airport is a long way from London so you will pay a fortune. So unless you are loaded or it is on the Company expense account take the Tube.
