London, UK hotel booking guide

Early flight · check your terminal

Compare Heathrow stays when flight timing drives the trip. Verify the exact terminal connection, first transfer and charge. An airport hotel is not necessarily walkable to your terminal.

Sightseeing · central London

Compare a city base when your days revolve around London. Heathrow Express connects Terminals 2 and 3 with Paddington in about 15 minutes; that excludes the journey between the station and your hotel.

Room plus transport

The Elizabeth line also links Heathrow with central London. Add transfers for every traveller to the room total, then check current service updates for your dates.
