[superlightr]

Budget 70 sheets, and you will probably be grand.

ah ha - so quite a lot. Ive got a train/tube ticket but didnt want to travel with the unwashed peasants unless I really had to. Looks like I will have to.

Get the Heathrow express into Paddington for 16 quid and tube from there?

Use the tube man - just take a cattle prod

Definitely get the Heathrow express to Padington, then decide on taxi/tube to London Bridge.

+1 It'll be loads quicker.

Otherwise book a black car which probably won't cost much more than a taxi...

At least 60-70 for a minicab, way more for a black cab. Tube (Piccadilly to Green Park, then Jubilee to LB) or train would be a lot cheaper and just as quick (though you have to lug your baggage around).

Just get a helicopter to Battersea Helipad and book a richshaw to take you the rest of the way.

Can't afford a £60 taxi ride, I think you might just be one of those "unwashed peasants" that you speak of...

Heathrow Express is actually very good.

[superlightr]

Heathrow express it will be - thx for the advice.

On my return I will be a great unwashed...

Public transport can be nearly as quick for this type of thing.

The Heathrow Express and two short tube journeys will take about half the time of a black cab.
