Looks like the N9 bus will do the job. I presume it will cost £1 but
don't know how often it runs.

Various ways including the Piccadilly Line of the Underground. Where in
central London do you want to go to?

and how can I get back in the night at about 2 a.m ?

Why do you want to return to Heathrow at 2 a.m.? There are no flights
scheduled to arrive or depart at that time of night.

Maybe he wants to be there 3hrs ahead of a 5am flight?

The quickest way to get from Heathrow to central London is on the Heathrow
Express train (Cost GBP13 single). If you don't want to pay that much you
can take the underground / Metro train which is slower.

To get back at 2am, the N9 Nightbus is the only form of public transport at
that time of night (except for a taxi or minicab which would be very
expensive).

It runs from St. James Aldwych Church through Trafalgar Square and Picadilly
Circus, and then it's a very long ride (over an hour) out to the airport. It
runs every 15 minutes.

When it gets to Heathrow it runs along the northern side of the airport past
several hotels before finishing at the central Heathrow bus station.

On the plus side it only costs £1.

I don't think they let you sleep in the airport after it closes at about
midnight (unless there have been major delays and they can't put everyone in
hotels). Security will come and remove you. I think it opens again at about
5am.

If you are adventurous then good luck and have fun, but remember that London
is very big and if you get lost at night you might not get back to the
airport in time!

Also if you have bags with you you might get mugged, so you might want to
leave them at the airport 'left luggage' before you explore.

Personally I would just book into a travel lodge and sleep, but it sounds
like you have more energy than me!

they don`t sound very optimistic ;)
anyway, I have no choice, I have early morning flight to USA,
I`m arriving in the eveining previous day and not having money
for expensive hotel, I will stay at the airport.
.... I know, I know, I am going to be bloody exhausted ;)

As far as I know the airport is all night opened..

Once again I will ask, how should I arrange night sightseeing tour
in Londyn? I`m not affraid of being lost in the city because I don`t plan
to wander far away from the main city attractions full of helpful people ;)

p.s The baggage will already be checked and sent.
Thanks in advance for valuable advices

There are London Sightseeing Tour buses http://www.theoriginaltour.com/ but
I dont think they run at night.

However you could buy a One Day Travelcard at Heathrow Underground Station
(£5.40) and take the underground up to Central London. You could travel
round the centre on the normal buses and either take a late Underground
train or the N9 Night Bus back to Heathrow.

The web sites http://www.tfl.gov.uk and http://www.londonbusroutes.net give
you more info about public transport in London.

The quickest way to get from Heathrow to central London is on the Heathrow
Express train (Cost GBP13 single).

Ooh, a ride on an Alstom Juniper! That's still quite expensive by train
standards, I feel a new topic coming on...

AyrAlex - perhaps you were thinking of Gatwick Express? It was operated
by a strain of Juniper last I checked.
