That does sound rather good! I know my way once I get to South
Kensington just about a 4 block walk up to Queensway!

Any thoughts on a 7 day London Pass ?

Thanks again for all the help

then hop the tube to the Kennsington station

Thanks Guys



If you're going to South Kensington it'll be far cheaper, easier and
probably quicker to get the Heathrow Express to Terminals 1,2,3
(free) and change to the Picadilly Line tube there. Then change to
a district line train at Barons Court (across platform connection).


Cheaper? Yes.

Easier? Not much in it. Both routes have a walk between HEx and the
Underground. Both involve a wait of up to 15 minutes for HEx at T4.

Quicker? Not necessarily according to TfL's Journey Planner. Your
route takes 53-73 minutes including waiting times. Via Paddington, it's
44-67 minutes. Taking the dedicated bus from T4 to Hatton Cross and
the Piccadilly Line would reduce the overall time to 40-50 minutes.

Also, there's not much point in changing to the District at Barons Court
as the Piccadilly also goes to South Kensington, and there are fewer
steps to climb from the Picc to street level (plus escalators of
course).
