May 27th, 2009 — Heathrow bed and breakfast nearby
We are not on the actual Heathrow Hoppa Bus route at the moment, so to get to us from Heathrow, please call our local Taxi company, LHR Cars on 01895-444333/ 444444 on arrival. The Bed and Breakfast is very close to the airport – 5-10 minutes by Cab, and the fare should only cost approx £7.50 for Terminals 1, 2 & 3; but approximately £10.50p, if you arrive at Terminals 4 or 5.
As soon as you are able to please call LHR on 01895-444333/ 444444 and make a precise arrangement with their office where the driver will collect you - give them your mobile phone no or tell them what colour coat you are wearing! If you are with a party of 3 or more, please request that LHR send an MPV to collect yoy, because they cannot squash many adults into their smaller, saloon cars! Due to strict security regulations, cabs are not permitted to stop and wait at Heathrow.
All LHR drivers should wear a photo identity badge, and there should also be a Green X displayed in the front window of the vehicle.
If LHR Cars happen to be busy when you call them and cannot come for a while, please try calling Sky Cabs, on 01895-252525, but be aware that they will charge you a pound or two more for the fare!
If you cannot make a ‘phone call from Heathrow - due to possible Jetlag and general disorientation, you can ask a Cab driver waiting outside the airport, to take you to West Drayton.
However, as some cab drivers may not be familiar with the roads in this area of West London, make sure to ask your driver how much he will charge you – before you step into his vehicle [try to negotiate a Fare of £12. 00 - £17.00 maximum].
