I'm visiting London in a month -- for the first time -- and staying with a
friend who lives in Greenwich.

Get the Heathrow Express to Paddington.

How would that help him get to Greenwich?

Are you *really* this dim?

I have to ask you the same if you think that going via Paddington is a
better option. Did you really bother to check your figures?

The route I suggested takes 70-75 minutes, offers easy interchange for
visitors with luggage and costs under £10.

Your suggestion of using the Heathrow Express costs three times as much,
involves a difficult interchange at Paddington, plus another at Baker
Street, and is most unlikely to offer a shorter journey, especially
given the fact that one can have to wait up to 15 minutes for the HE at
Heathrow (as opposed to 5 minutes for the Piccadilly).
