You may very well find they have a Shuttle Bus. Failing that Slough is very close to Heathrow so a Taxi won't cost to much. |

London: Transport from Heathrow to Slough !!
their website says they have a shuttle bus from terminals 1,2 and 3.
Just out of curiosity, did you not ask the hotel..? PJW On 23 Nov 2003 06:37:31 -0800, (Mahesha) wrote: Hi All, I'm visiting London with my wife this december.

Slough isnt London, its a godawful Industrial town that was raped by the planners in the 60's and it lies 30 miles West of London As the poet Betjeman said Come, friendly bombs, and fall on Slough It isn't fit for humans now, There isn't grass to graze a cow Swarm over, Death! The hotel you have booked isnt even in central Slough but is just of the Motorway. Staying there is like staying in a motel just off the New Jersey turnpike. If you need to be in Slough book a hotel in the centre, otherwise find a hotel in London Keith |

It is well served by local buses (the number 81 from Heathrow to Slough stops right outside) but because of the proximity, you will probably be best off catching a cab from the airport. The cost would be £10 to £15 max. Finding one interested in this short trip may be easier said then done. Thats not a problem as the cabbies can return straight to the head of the queue when they take a fare to an airport hotel, just make sure the driver knows the destination before he leaves the stand.

Does anyone know if this still exists? Yes it does, but the cabbie needs to tell the dispatcher before he leaves the rank. Keith |
