XXX L 2 XXX Airport Bus Services

There are several bus companies and routes that operate from London’s airports. Journey times vary, and are dependent on the state of the busy traffic. Also, if you have an early morning or late night departure or arrival you should confirm what time the services start and finish. It is worth booking a seat at peak times in case the bus fills up.

From Heathrow – National Express runs coaches to Victoria station from early morning to late night; check for times. The journey takes about 40 minutes and costs £10 one-way, with a coach leaving approximately every 20 minutes. See www.nationalexpress.com for more information and booking details. For late night arrivals or departures, the N9 night bus runs every half hour to Trafalgar Square – check out www.tfl.gov.uk/buses for route and time details.
