This will be our first time to London. Although we plan to use the Tube, buses, and self-guided walking tours during our one week, we want to use a reasonably priced shuttle service to the hotel roundtrip to avoid hauling luggage around to and from the airport. We've read our RS tour book and apparently prices for the shuttle have gone up. Open to suggestions. Thanks!
We took the tube in and out and had no problems. I would first suggest contacting your hotel to see what they offer or who they recommend.
If you don't want to take the tube, hire a car service. Door to door for £35-50.
Some companies:
Blackberry Cars
Just Airports
Simply Airports (have used them 2x)
Thanks to all for your great suggestions!
