Information

London Underground’s Piccadilly Line provides the most cost-effective rail route between Heathrow Airport and the capital.

Serving Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5, the Piccadilly line runs a frequent service between the airport and a number of locations in central London, along with convenient connections to other Tube and rail services.

Journeys to central London typically take 50 minutes, and you shouldn’t have to wait longer than ten minutes for a train, even off-peak.

Standard operating hours are between 05:00 – 23:30, though the line operates a ‘Night Tube’, which runs throughout the night on Friday and Saturday nights. Please note, Night Tube does not serve Terminal 4.
