To and from Terminal 5

London Underground

The Piccadilly Line on London Underground is the most cost-effective rail route to and from the airport.

It takes less than an hour to travel between central London and Terminal 5, and you shouldn’t have to wait longer than 10 minutes for a train, even at off-peak times. When you get to the Terminal 5 station, finding your way is easy. Just take one of the lifts straight up to Ground Level.
