Looking for taxi co reccomendations to Heathrow

Not a taxi company, but if you are able to drive, you might consider self-drive using ZipCar Flex. Loads of these cars around ED. They've recently made Heathrow T5 a drop-off zone - you park the car in the short term car park right next to the terminal. Cost (based on 7 trips I've made) is approx ?20 all-in, which is much less expensive than any taxi. Works the other way too (Heathrow to ED - park on the street).

Thanks, but it?s not for me and this person does not like driving in cities.

The Heathrow Travelodge has rooms available from ?39 - lower than any taxi fare I believe and offering the chance of a good night's kip and a decent waking hour, well worth considering if one hasn't anything going on the night before.

I always use the local Rye Cars - they are always on time, and good value

020 7732 7000


If I am travelling solo and can manage my luggage, then I catch public transport - which is really cheap and adds on very little time

I go from Brockley to Canada Water - then Jubilee Line to Green Park, then Picadilly line all the way to Heathrow.


There is also the trains from Paddington (and a slightly slower, (not the express) but cheaper train all the way to Heathrow.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
