I am going on holidays for 21 days and I`ll be catching flight from London Heathrow. I need to find a parking place which is safe and economical. I have tried many online search pages but its coming out to be around 100 quids.
Does anyone know any parking space where I can park my car for 21ish days. it doesnt necessarily need to be close to Heathrow.
Thanks.
I believe (although I’ve never tried it) that if you book a room at one of the hotels at Heathrow for the last night before you leave you can park at the hotel for free for a week … and if you book another hotel room for the night you arrive back you can have another week free … which would only leave you with one more week to pay for
especially if you’ve got a very early morning flight or you’re coming from quite far away, it could be worth looking into
Heathrow Airport opening timings and another query, help!?
My flight is 8.50 in the morning of 25th December, and unfortunately the tube/trains won't operate as its Christmas day, and I can't go by car/taxi. I want to know whether I'm allowed to go early and stay in airport? and is there any alternative route to reach Airport by 6.00 am? By the way I live in Stratford area of London.
Thanks in advance!
You might be able to get a bus that takes you close to the airport.
And every airport I've been to, they've let us come in early. My dad once went to sleep in an airport until I came the next day! So he was there for about 9 hours waiting for me so we could get a flight.
Pub with Beer Garden under Heathrow flight path??
Hello, I am an Aussie living in London, and have heard about a pub (I'm sure there are many, but I want to find the best one) directly under the Heathrow flight path. I would really like to get a group of mates together for a sunday booze up under the planes flying over really close. I know it sounds funny but I love planes and have no car to re create the waynes world scene (ha ha).
Anyway, thanks to all those Londoner's who know where to send me!
Cheers
no I do not
This is our first time to go to London. I'll be working at heathrow airport and i hope to find a home at Hayes. The company offered me 27k per annum, do you think it's enough to live with & also save some for the future? Also, which is better, to accept a company car or a car allowance (3k per annum)? We really need all the advice we can get, especially from those who already live in London. Thanks in advance!
I was born and have been living in Central London all my life. Accommodation is expensive where I live, a nice flat costs around £1000/month; a house in Central London will cost 500k!.
If you are staying in Central London, it's best to live in a flat, but if you will be living out of the centre, in the suburbs, accommodation will be cheaper. Trust me, living in Central London will drain you if you spend too extravagantly.
27k/annum is enough, more than what most people earn. You will survive. But to be honest, life is hard nowadays, I know people who live in Central London who are having problems with money, etc…Use your money wisely.
What 2 Tube stations in London are the furthers distance apart?
Im trying to find out how big London is including the greater London so I want to know what two points are the furthers away, so in this case what two tube stations are the furthers away, on the tube map I came to the conclusion that Upminister or Epping to Chesham or Ealing Browdway or even London Heathrow airport then with my results I put them into AA route planner and see how long it takes via car and how many miles.
It's a pretty close-run contest between Amersham-Upminster and Chesham-Upminster.
Multimap reckons that the Chesham journey is about a mile longer, but Transport for London's statistics say that Amersham is furthest west and Upminster's furthest east, which would indicate that on the tube (rather than by road) the Amersham journey is longest.
Here's TfL's page of tube statistics so you can read them for yourself. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/modesoftransport/londonunderground/1608.aspx
But you can't use the tube map to assess distances as it's a topographical map (distorted in terms of distance to make it easier to understand routes and links.)
But Greater London isn't actually measured according to tube stations. Its official boundaries are the outer edges of the Outer London boroughs. By that standard, its furthest points are (bizarrely) junction 14 of the M25 (the western point of the borough of Hillingdon), and North Ockenden (the eastern boundary of the borough of Havering).
Hope that helps with your project. =D
Cruise in June out of Dover, Eng. Best method of trans from Dover to Cotswolds and from Cots to London/Hthrw?
Just not sure if renting a car is our best ooption or if there is a train to take us to the Cotswolds. We only have 3 full days and then we have to head back to Heathrow to go home. Also, any can't misses or places to stay/eat in the Cotswolds would be appreciated.
You don't say which part of the Cotswolds or which town you're travelling to. There are two rail lines from London Paddington serving the Cotswolds area: London-Oxford-Moreton in the Marsh-Worcester and London-Swindon-Kemble-Stroud-Gloucester-Cheltenham. Both run every 2 hours and Cheltenham would be a good town to base yourself in. The rail operator is First Great Western
www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk
From Dover to London catch a South Eastern train from Dover Priory Station to London Charing Cross; they run every 30 minutes and the fastest trains take 90 minutes. From Charing Cross Station an Underground Bakerloo Line train will take you to Paddington Station for trains to the Cotswolds.
Returning to Heathrow, trains from all destinations in the Cotswolds stop at Reading on their way into London. From Reading Station a rail to air link bus runs regularly to Heathrow Airport.
You might find a Britrail Pass is cheaper for these journeys than conventional tickets

(I'm sorry I know nothing about renting cars. I am sure other answers will cover this)
My fiance and I are going to the states for 2 weeks in April/May and wondered what the cheapest way of parking our car in or around London is? We don't mind catching a tube or 2, but the £160 it looks like costing us at Heathrow seems a bit excessive. Anyone have any better suggestions?
A lot of airport hotels will do a deal. We stayed in the Raddison Edwardian on Christmas night for an early flight on Boxing Day. We were away for 3 weeks, they charged £130 for the room, parking, the lot.
A word of advice, other than the reception area the Radisson is awful, no way the 5 star it thinks it is, try the Marriott next door.
I'm considering working at Heathrow Airport. I won't have a car. Where would be a good place to live between Heathrow and London. Cheap and cool.
Thanks.
Hounslow or Brentford are about the closest places, both are relatively cheap, not particularly cool though.
Other more 'cool' places on the way to Heathrow would be places like Hammersmith, Fulham, Acton and Earls Court. Ealing isnt bad either although perhaps a bit dull. All these are easily accessible on the underground from heathrow. In fact most of the rest of London is fairly easily accessible
Which airport is the closest to London City? Heathrow or Gatwick?
Is there any kind of shuttle transportation between those 2 airports and London? Trains for example? How long does the trip by train/car take to get to town?
Depends where you are going. If you are heading for "the City" as Londoners call the financial district, then Gatwick is the better bet. Although further out, there are direct trains from Gatwick to railway stations that are much closer to the city — ie. Kings Cross Thameslink, Farringdon, Blackfriars. This is NOT the same train as the Gatwick Express to Victoria station. It's a far better bet than slow and crowded Underground from Heathrow. The Heathrow Express comes in at Paddington which is way off on the other side of town.
