My friend and I will arrive early into Heathrow Airport. We do not want to take a train to our hotel, because of time and age. We are staying at a hotel near Leicester Square. Do you suggest a taxi or Uber? TIA
Blackberry cars is often recommended by others on this forum. I have not personally used them but they seem to get good reviews.
A taxi is the most expensive and found at the taxi rank outside the terminal.
Uber is available but they can only pick up at designated areas.
A car service, like the previous mentioned Blackberry cars, is a flat price usually less than a taxi. They meet you as you exit customs and drop you at your hotel.
