Although many of our guests are transiting through London Heathrow Airport, there are plenty of other attractions and interesting places around the area. We normally use BATS Cabs at +44 (0) 208 893 8090 for collections from the terminal. We can arrange a collection on your behalf if you request it and you pay the driver on the day.

London’s underground railway/metro system is known as the ‘Tube’, and is more than 400km/250 miles of track.
Heathrow Living, with it’s access to ‘Tube’ stations at Terminal 4 and Hatton Cross is an excellent location to explore London from; rapid and easy travel into the heart of London to visit the sights and experience the capital and then return to the comfort and peace of the apartment at the end of the day, at a cost far less than if you tried to find a similar apartment in the city centre.
Whether it’s visiting the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Cathedral and the London Eye, or else the museums around South Kensigton, or the vibrant South Bank area and the Tate Modern, all can be reached easily by Tube.

For the history buffs amongst you: Runnymede is a water-meadow alongside the River Thames,and just under 7 miles (11 km) west of Heathrow Living Serviced Apartments. It is notable for its association with the sealing of Magna Carta, and as a consequence is, with its adjoining hillside, the site of memorials, and a beautiful area next to the Thames.
