Heathrow to Euston?

Post Tue Mar 21, 2006 3:31 pm

What's the best (easiest or most efficient) way to get from Heathrow to Euston Station, considering that we will be arriving with the maximum Air Canada luggage allowance of 2 50-lb bags plus 2 carry-on pieces each?

I reckon it's gonna have to be a cab. Don't fancy tackling the tube with all that in tow, and the airbus seems to have pretty strict luggage limits.

How much would a cab cost?

You could take the Heathrow Express. It'll take you straight to Paddington station, but I'm not sure how to get to euston from there.

When I took the heathrow express though, someone actually jumped in front of the train from a bridge. All trains in the area were cancelled and I got stuck trying to navigate via bus and tube into the city! What a pain that was (and all my luggage as well).

Thankfully the trip back to the airport was uneventful :) Takes only 15 minutes!

Is there any luggage limit on the Heathrow Express?

I guess we could always get a cab from Paddington to Euston. I dread the thought of dragging baggage around. Will probably just take the cab and have done with it.

When my mum flew over from canada last year I paid for her to get a taxi from Heathrow to central London and it was £50.

Be warned though that if you have that mush luggage you will probable not fit it all into a regular London cab. It sounds like you may need a small van and I am not sure how much that would be?
