Needing to do this route tomorrow from East Dulwich, anything changed since 2008?

According to CityMapper app, they are all rather hellish routes taking over 2 hours.


I would love to avoid the Heathrow Express and a taxi.


My flight is early afternoon which makes it a bit easier.


Currently I was thinking bus to Elephant and Castle, then Bakerloo to Picadilly Circus and then Picadilly from there all the way.

Agreed on tbe above. If you are on public transport, Denmark Hill/Peckham Rye - Victoria - Hammersmith - Heathrow is by far and away the best.


Paddington requires the slow Bakerloo and to head more north than needed. Plus the Heathrow Express is expensive. And Paddington is probably quicker via Victoria and Oxford Circus anyway.

Hi All,


I've just read this thread with great interest as I've recently launched a car-share airport transfer service for ski tourists in Geneva (I live in East Dulwich and have extensive business and leisure travel experience having always found the airport transfer to be both costly and inconvenient).


I'm currently evaluating whether it would be useful for domestic airport transfers and would therefore greatly appreciate your feedback.


How it works (It's essentially Zipcar for airport transfers);

A customer books a car for a door-to-door transfer, we deliver it to their location (home/work/etc), they drive to the airport and park it just outside the terminal building.

On the return they take the car from our parking and drive home leaving the car parked legally (on-street/off street).


The benefits:

High quality (efficient and simple) and low cost (approx. ?40,00 each way).

We're looking at electric vehicles so the service could potentially be Green.


Any feedback greatly appreciated.


Cheers,


Mike

In Geneva we launched with vehicles being hand delivered/collected to/from customers at the meet and greet (kiss and fly) zone, which is at the door of the terminal building. We're now engaged with the airport to have dedicated parking bays in the same location.


It would work the same way at London terminals, initially we'd run meet and greet until a commercial agreement could be put in place to have dedicated on-site parking.

    • Nope that concern predates the Jerk festival.  But I am talking about when I first moved to SE London and some locals complained that the nice music was too loud. Separately some people are still moaning about the Jerk festival,  Felt some comments were (casual) racist, but that is a different subject matter. That day was great,  A victim of its own success. A kin to Fatboy Slim playing a free festival on Brighton beach, tens of thousands went but it took a long long time to clean up.
