Is there any danger of the Heathrow Express being shut down if there is a Tube strike? Also, looking at Google maps, it looks like one should just walk from the Paddington Station to the Metropole (9 minute walk, straight up Praed street to Edgware Rd). For those of us in good health with wheels on our suitcase and arriving during daylight, is there any reason not to just walk it?
