Flying In

London-Heathrow (LHR) is the main London airport, and likely the best option for international travelers.

To reach central London, take the underground Heathrow Express Train from the airport to Paddington Station (about 16 minutes) or taxi in (about 35 minutes).

The Weather

London’s weather in January hovers around 4–9°C (that’s about 40–48°F), so don your woolly hat, drink plenty of tea, and be prepared for cold temperatures!
