I need to do this in May and it seems like it will be pretty expensive. A taxi looks like it will cost £70 That's to take me and the family (5 of us). But the coach is even more.

Is there a better way? I thought about trying to find a local taxi firm in the area but it looks like they all chaege about the same.

Fair enough if it is but I just wondered if there may be a cheaper way to do it?

Thanks

How much time do you have?
Cheapest way is the tube to Victoria (Picadribbly line to Hammersmith, walk across the platform there to the District); train from Victoria to Gatwick. In theory, an hour on the tube, 35-40 minutes on the train. I forget how much, but with an Oyster card it should be £20 or so for the tube and a few more bob for the train.

On balance, taxi may not be that bad a shout for that many of you!

Train to Clapham, change forbthe train to Feltham, bus to Heathrow.

£70 / 5 might not be that bad

oops! apologies for posting in the wrong forum.

I did think about flying haha!

I think we have about 3 hours. But yes, I think the taxi is the easiest option. 2 adults, 3 kids and luggage.

Not really a problem, just wondered if there was a slightly cheaper way.

Thanks guys.
