    • London Underground to Heathrow

     

    London Underground's Piccadilly line provides the most cost-effective rail route between Heathrow and the capital.
     

    Journey time by the Piccadilly Line is under an hour from central London and you shouldn't have to wait longer than ten minutes for a train, even off-peak.

    Direct journeys to Heathrow are available from Piccadilly line stations between Cockfosters and Heathrow, with convenient connections from other Tube and rail services. 

    Heathrow has three London Underground stations – one for Terminals 2 and 3 and one each at Terminal 4 and Terminal 5. With the current consolidation of Terminal operations, the Underground is running from Terminals 2 and 3 and Terminal 5.

    Heathrow Terminals 2 and 3 station is between the terminals, which are a few minutes' walk away via pedestrian subway. Heathrow Terminal 5 Underground station is in the basement of the terminal building.

    All stations are in Travelcard Zone 6.

    Underground tickets are available at all stations. The single cash fare to central London (Zone 1) is £5.90. For more information regarding all day travel passes, please visit tfl.gov.uk/fares-and-payments or visit the Underground Visitors Centres at Heathrow Terminals 2 and 3 underground station.

     

     

    Oyster pay-as-you-go fares are £5.10 (Mon - Fri, 06:30 - 09:30) and £3.10 (all other times). You'll need an Oyster card or a contactless payment card.
