On Saturday I need to get to Heathrow (T2) for a 6am flight.


I was hoping to get the Paddington Express but the first train is at 5.10am which is not good enough. Any recommendation for a reliable cab company? The last two times I have booked an early morning pick-up both companies turned up late!


Any other option for getting to Heathrow for such an early flight (I have no private car)?


Thanks, S

You could consider an overnight stay in a nearby hotel . Travel Lodge ??


Travel on public transport.


No rush in the morning.. not much dearer than a cab.

and usually a bus to the airport from the hotel every few mins.


Arrive on time fresh for your flight.

Always use Addison Lee for work trips of this nature. Not the cheapest, but still generally cheaper than a Heathrow hotel. Their size means there are always lots of extra drivers around (e.g. if your scheduled driver is held up on a previous job). They've generally been 5-10 minutes early for my pick ups.
If you want to save a few bob and don't mind a bit (not much) of extra effort, get a night bus to Victoria and National Express run coaches to Heathrow at 3AM, 4AM and 5AM for just ?10, 40 minute journey time. Don't know how full they get, might be wise to book.

    • Thanks penguin  always wondered about that place and that’s way more info than I ever thought I would get  (used to live above a gun nut on friern road - he would tell me nothing)
    • There was a Saturday afternoon crowd of enthusiasts, and at other times the owner might have been off acquiring stock. He also repaired air guns, which he also sold. He stocked edged weapons, uniforms, including antique uniforms, air guns and ammo and starting pistols and shot. Some medals and other militaria. Quite a lot of ex service chit chat on a Saturday. I had an amateur interest, didn't deal a lot, in English pattern swords and other mainly 19th century militaria. And made some good purchases there. I'm afraid WWII and later events was the major focus of most of the regulars. 
    • Did anyone actually venture in to that place? I recall it always being closed/very uninviting!
