Maybe you want to see the surface of London? The National Express coach is your friend. It takes about 60 to 80 minutes (traffic depending), and you get a comfy seat and views of the suburbs. It’s the cheapest option, and the coaches have USB chargers.
Think of it as a little sightseeing ride between flights. You might even spot a double-decker bus or a red phone box. Plus, no luggage stress—the driver handles the big bags for you. It’s the underdog that always wins.
