Mini cab to paddington the thiefthrow express.

With the Olympics starting leave early! 0600 at the very latest and preferably earlier. The traffic will be unbearable.

Straight down the south circular through Wandsworth and Putney, then cut up through Barnes (turn right at Barnes station) and straight up over Hammersmith Bridge to Hammersmith to join the M4.

For a family of four? Cheaper and much less hassle to get a taxi all the way.

OP didnt ask for cheapest. Thiefrow Expres is MUCH faster than Car. (BUT HENCE ITS NAME VERY VERY EXPENSIVE)

Cheapest. Train then tube. (also very slow)

Least lifting and carrying get a cab.

Whoops Sorry OP is Driving!

South Circ and M4 if travelling in the middle of the night.

Really? By the time you have detoured to Paddington, you'd be most of the way to Heathrow.

Is the problem with getting a minicab that you're then stuck with two carseats you don't want to take to NZ?

I came home from Terminal 5 Sunday night with Mrs Ant and baby to Nunhead in a pre booked minicab and it cost ?45 and took 50 mins. He drove the M4 the whole way to Hammersmith.

The M4 Olympic lane has come into effect since then, however.

Some minicab companies do child seats if you ask.

[the-e-dealer]

Childseats are not mandatory but they are safe!
