Another option is to take Heathrow Connect. It's much less expensive
than the Heathrow Express (19.80 GBP versus 34.00 GBP RT)
[MB] While the might be one intent, there's certainly nothing that prevents the average person from using it and it's clearly advertised as an option on the Heathrow airport webpage: http://www.heathrowairport.com/transport-and-directions/getting-into-london
It's also MUCH more practical for families that are traveling as there is a special rate - you pay the same rate for kids on Heathrow Express as you do for an adult. It also has luggage storage space. IMHO, Heathrow Express is intended for riders that are willing to pay a premium to save 15 minutes. For those of us that have to pay out of pocket, the savings is worth the extra time, in particular if you are arriving early in the morning and are far less likely to get into your hotel room at that time anyways.
