How to get there
Fly into one of three London airports. All three suck, but Heathrow sucks less. Gatwick is OKish and Stansted is the farthest and crappiest. All three are connected to the city center by express trains, running every 15 min. Travel times:
- Heathrow: 15 min
- Gatwick: 30 min
- Stansted: 50 min
Heathrow is also accessible by London Underground (subway) but it takes ~45 min.
There are also buses and taxis, but the latter could cost up to $200 (Stansted), and take up to 2 hrs during rush hours
