transporation from Heathrow Airport

With four people it's probably worth looking into a car service. I've seen good reports of http://www.justairports.com/ - although since I travel solo I've never used them myself. Otherwise you could take the train - Heathrow Express (faster but more expensive) or Heathrow Connect - to Paddington and either a taxi or the tube one/two stops east.

Edgware (note that there is no "e" in the middle) Road (there are two different stations with the same name - one on the Bakerloo Line, the other on the Circle Line and Hammersmith and City) is pretty close and not a bad walk from Paddington. Marylebone is a bit further.

The easiest way is to take a regular black London cab from the taxi rank at Heathrow to your hotel. It could cost about £60. Second easiest is a pre-arranged car: www.london-transfers.com www.justairports.com www.skyexpresscars.net
www.handicars.co.uk and www.simplyairports.co.uk The price should be under £40, you can check prices online. Third easiest way is to take the Heathrow Express to Paddington and a taxi from there. The Heathrow Express could cost £66 plus £5 for the taxi. The Heathrow Connect would be about £32 plus £5 for the taxi. The tube would cost £20 maximum, take about 70 minutes and would be feasible if you are in good health and can carry your luggage some distance and perhaps up a flight of stairs or escalator in one trip.

Also, if you chose the tube check to see if there is "work on the line" I flew out of London yesterday and planned to take the tube as I had lots of time. However, after reading about the "bus detour" I decided on Heathrow Connect! Work seems to be happening on weekends.

Carol's comment about work on the line is a good one- and not just for the airports.
In the summer it's quite common for 'Engineering work' to be done on rail lines all over the country, so it's a good idea to always check on the appropriate website, if you're planning on weekend travel by rail.
