My adult rowing team is participating in the Henley Masters Regatta in early July, the week after the famous and fancy one. I am arriving at Heathrow 4 hours before most of my boat. They will likely hire a car to take them to Henley on Thames but since I am in no hurry I thought I would take the train - I am assuming it is cheaper as well.
My flight arrives at 6:40 AM on Wednesday, July 8 at what I think will be Terminal 3. I see that I could take the train to Hayes, then out to Twyford, and connect to Henley but that I could also go into Paddington, take the train to Twyford, connecting to Henley. Any thoughts on which would be better?
If I took the train to Hays - where would I catch it in Heathrow?
And finally any recommendations on taxi companies that provide service between Heathrow and Henley?
Thank you!
