Taxis in Heathrow: An overview
Heathrow sits within a wider region that's often easier to navigate by taxi than by public transport. Local services may be infrequent or require connections, and if you're visiting with luggage or as part of a group, a direct ride is often the most practical (and stress-free) option.
