Getting to central London from Heathrow is simple and efficient. The fastest link is a non-stop train shuttle from Paddington station, which is just 15 minutes away. If you’re on a budget, the London Underground’s Piccadilly Line offers a cheaper option, although the journey time is slightly longer at 50-60 minutes.
Staying at an Airport Hotel vs. Staying Nearby
One common dilemma travelers face is whether to stay at an airport hotel with onsite parking or a hotel nearby with long-stay parking. Both options have advantages and disadvantages.
- Airport Hotels: These offer the ultimate convenience, being just steps away from the terminal. However, you might find yourself paying a premium for this convenience, and shuttle transport to the terminal might still be required.
- Hotels Near the Airport: Opting for a hotel a few miles away often means a more peaceful and relaxed stay, away from the airport’s hustle and bustle. However, you’ll need to factor in transport to and from the airport.
Parking at Your Chosen Hotel
Most hotels offer Hotel, Park & Fly Packages that include parking as part of the stay. If your chosen hotel doesn’t offer this package, it’s always a good idea to inquire about possible charges, discounted rates, or car parking deals from local companies.
Parking Duration
The duration of your parking depends on the hotel you choose, with many offering different options to complement your travel plans. If the hotel’s offerings don’t meet your needs, check with them directly to see if they have access to preferential car parking deals from professional companies.
