British Airways flights land at terminal 5 while Virgin Atlantic and American Airlines both land at terminal 3. All terminals are well connected to the city centre by road and rail. Express trains to Paddington station call at both of the above terminals, as does the underground Piccadilly Line train. The overground is fastest, with a journey time of 15 minutes, while the underground is the cheapest. Road transfers in London can be slower due to traffic, but coaches and cabs are both available.

Practical Information

If you're planning to work or study in the UK, or if you have a criminal record, you will need to apply for a visa. If in doubt, contact the British consulate. We recommend getting to the airport at least two hours before flight departure.
