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.

    • I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here. 
    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
