I checked National Express and there is no scheduled service. British Airways indicates there is a shuttle between London City and Heathrow, but cannot tell me how to find it. Journey times are optimistically advertised as 35 minutes, although London’s notorious traffic often means it can take twice that.Ī traditional black cab can take you to and from Heathrow, avoiding public transit altogether. I booked a flight with British Airways from US to Zurich.The return flight has us landing in London City airport, however, my connection back to the US leaves from Heathrow. National Express operates coach services from Victoria coach station, a five-minute walk south from Victoria train station. Word of warning, you can’t get to Terminal 5 via this service - it stops at Terminal 4. This train stops at intermediate stations between Paddington and Heathrow, is somewhere in between the Piccadilly Line and the Heathrow Express in terms of expense and you can pay using Oyster or contactless.
