Fastest route to Paddington, then short taxi ride to final destination. Time is money for business travel.
Budget backpacker with light luggage
Cheapest option at £6-8. Slow but direct to many central London areas. Fine if you're not in a hurry.
Tourist going to central London
Good balance of cost and convenience. Modern trains with reasonable journey time to multiple central locations.
Late night arrival
Available 24/7 with flight tracking. Public transport has limited late-night services. Safety and convenience matter.
