What can be best way to reach Cambridge from Heathrow Terminal 3?

What is the fastest way (cheaper is better, but if unavoidable, costly is agreeable) to reach Cambridge from Heathrow Terminal 3, at night (past 10pm)? I expect quite a few people who reach Heathrow at night will be traveling there, so if someone in London/Cambridge or anyone who's done it before could share, it will be great.

Best Answer

Get the Piccadilly line from Heathrow to King's Cross (~1 hour) then catch a direct train to Cambridge (again ~1 hour). You can check trains from London KX to Cambridge here. The last one today leaves at 00.31 but in general I'd assume it will be around midnight. Provided you get onto the tube at Heathrow by about 10.40 pm you should be fine.

If really pushed for time you could get the Heathrow Express to Paddington then the tube to King's Cross but I would advise against this. The Heathrow Express is ridiculously expensive (£20) and would save you 15-20 minutes at most.
