Blackviolett Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I thought Id post this as its very helpful. Most of us use the Hoppas to get from Heathrow Terminals to the Hotels but they also offer a free bus service as well. This link tells you the alternatives and numbers to use. The Lodge also offers a free bus on request at all times to and from Heathrow. http://www.londontoolkit.com/lhr/hotel_hoppa_bus.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackviolett Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) Last year we waited for ours at the bus station outside Terminal 5. The Hoppa bus was going to be ages so they told us to get on the free main bus but after a while we were cold and tired and couldnt be bothered so got in a taxi. Were going to attempt the free bus on Friday and will just ask if were lost :) Im not familiar with the terminals but just thought Id post this to help people out.

Sazzzy Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 we got the free bus a couple of times it seemed ok and it stops just outside like most of the hotels so if u can be botherd to wait for it it isnt a bad thing x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyden Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I took the free bus last time from the terminal and it worked fine. I didn't know for sure it was free, but I didn't pay Thanks for the great link. I've printed out the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessDrusilla Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I'm lazy so gonna stick with the hoppa, as it's always been great when I've used it and brings u right in front of the reception, so I don't have to drag my over packed suitcase, travel bag, handbag etc lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moni Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 if you are coming from T1 or T3 then just go to the central bus station and if you are unsure of which stand to go to theres plenty of staff around to ask if coming from T4 you need to go to Hatton Cross or central bus station to get the free bus to the thistle (from hatton cross is bus 423) from T5 you go out of arrivals and theres bus stands all along.not sure which stand the 423 stops at. hope that helps some of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically if the traffic is OK and the traffic lights all run in your favour, it'll cost a tenner. More realistically you're looking at between £12 and £15.
