How long to get from Covent Garden to Heathrow?
How long will it take me to get from Covent Garden to Heathrow Terminal 5 on a weekday evening?
I'm planning to take the Tube from Covent Garden to Paddington Station and Heathrow Express from there.
Best Answer
I have an app called Tube Map on my phone and it says Covent Garden to Paddington is 19 minutes. Seven stops, two lines - Piccadilly line to Piccadilly Circus, change to Bakerloo Line to Paddington. It's about 6:40 pm in the UK now so if the app takes time of day into account, it's the right time. There appear to be trains on both lines about every 2 or 3 minutes at this time of day.
Allow ten minutes for getting from the tube to the Heathrow Express platform.
There's a train every 15 minutes, so worse case you would just miss one and wait 15 minutes for the next. The travel time is 15 minutes.
So all told: 59 minutes. Call it one hour. Then you have to get to your terminal from the Heathrow Express station, but that's a different question :-)
