I have a few questions I need help with.?

Question

Q1: I an arriving at LHR on October 24th. I plan to buy an Oyster card for £20 + £2 = £22 that I can use during my entire 3 day trip (I am going to Wembley Stadium which is in zone 4, and LHR is in zone 6... so I think the Oyster card is my best option here). Using my Oyster card what is the best way to get from LHR to Victoria Station?

Q2: Also, I will be taking the Chunnel to Paris on Tuesday, Oct 27th. My hotel is near Victoria Station and my train leaves at 05:00, what is my best option to get to the Chunnel Station?

If you go to google and type in TFL then go to the journey planner on transport for londons homepage it'll give you the best ways to get around as well as train times/bus times etc.

You can use your oyster card on the Picadilly Line (Dark blue) from Heathrow but be prepared for a long slow journey. Might be better of taking the heathrow express for a little bit more cash or just get a train (neither accept prepaid oyster cards though)

Answer 2

From Heathrow take the Piccadilly Line ( Undergound ) to Hammersmith then change to the Disrtict line for Victoria. Travel time just under one hour.

Or take the Heathrow Express to Paddington ( overground) and then change to the underground Paddington to Victoria. Travel time just under one hour.

If you have a lot of luggage it might be easier to take a taxi once you arrive in central London because the changes to the undergound will involve escalators etc.

At 5am to get to an early departure I would take a taxi.

Answer 3

Q1 - personally I don't see the point of taking the Heathrow Express train like others have suggested, it's not included on your Oystercard so why pay an extra £16.50 ? ... whatever time you would save on the journey Heathrow to Paddington you lose on the tube Paddington to Victoria ... here's the tube map http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/s…

Q2 - no, the tube will not have started running at that time in the morning ... either you take a taxi, or you take the night bus N73 ... here's the timeable http://www.londonbusroutes.net/times/N07… ... and here's a map of night bus routes from the Victoria area http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/gettingaround/… ... the night buses are included on your Oystercard so unless you've got a lot of luggage it should be viable ... by the way, the Chunnel Station is St Pancras International, which is right next door to Kings Cross Station

Answer 4

A1. Take Picadily Line- there is none other-- from LHR and Change to Jubilee Line at Green Park or if you desire slightly faster mode , take Piccadily from LHR and chang over to The Bakerloo Line at Picadily and --oops-- one more change at the Baker Street to the Metropolitan line and the second stop is Wembley.Summary :- Via Piccadily and Jubilee total stops 18+11 AND via Piccadily+ Bakerloo+Metropolitan 18+2+2. Your Choice mate !!

A2.Reach St. Pancras International directly from Victoria Station by taking Victoria Tube line to St. Paancras just 4 stops awaay and enjoy Europe !!
And arm yourself with a copy of The London Tube Map (readily and freely available) as you take The Tube ( The Underground Rail System affectionately so called by THe AFFECTION- FILLED ! Londoners ) from LHR.... The TUBE is a Real Marvel !
