From Heathrow
Since Heathrow Express started, nobody in their right mind takes a taxi from the airport anymore. Fifteen minutes, every fifteen minutes to Paddington and it’s surprisingly comfortable for a London commute. Buy your ticket on the train, it’s the same price as queuing. Arriving at Paddington, turn right at the end of the platform for the taxi rank. Ask your driver to take you to Clerkenwell. It shouldn’t cost more than £15.00.
From Mayfair
Your chauffeur should really know the way.
