Bear in mind that the Elizabeth line will work as an alternative for most destinations in central London. It’s quicker, more comfortable but a bit more expensive than the tube.

There is the Heathrow Express to Paddington also. More expensive option, but costs less when purchased in advance.

Stuart, thanks! Not scheduled during that time period (yet!!), but I also always appreciate the local knowledge you share.

I think they're a little behind schedule with the new trains and such. Looking like next year now possibly?

The new trains look much more Heathrow-friendly, with increased space for luggage storage.
