🚫 Erreurs Courantes & Arnaques Taxis à Éviter

  • Taking the Heathrow Express to Paddington + Circle Line Tube to Victoria + Gatwick Express — that old route requires 2 transfers and costs £46+, whereas changing once at Farringdon on the Elizabeth Line + Thameslink is faster and costs £20.20!
  • Black cabs from Heathrow to central London cost £70–£120+ and take 50–75 minutes in traffic. Unless you pre-book a fixed-rate private transfer for a family group, the Elizabeth Line or Heathrow Express is twice as fast.
