How to get there
London is a HUGE city and has several airports scattered around - always check before you book which airport you will land in. Airports like Luton, Stanstead and Gatwick have bus services which will take you into the city and from Heathrow you can jump straight on the tube!

As someone who travels across continents often, I'm always looking for the cheapest way to get from point A to B. Here is a link to my favorite budget airfare site Aunt Betty:
If you're travelling via train from other destinations from Europe you will arrive at King's cross St Pancras and take the tube to your accommodation.
