What it the fastest way, for four people plus luggage, to Heathrow T2 from King's Cross Station?
Upvote:3
The fastest way is going from King's Cross St Pancras tube station to Paddington tube station first via Hammersmith & City line or Circle line/Circle line and then interchange to the Heathrow Express at Paddington rail station. The trip takes about 30-35mins, plus 5-10 mins from the rail station to terminal 2 and <20mins waiting time (<5mins for tube and <15 mins for heathrow express). The trip costs £24.5.
On the other hand, since you have enough time, I would recommend Michael Hampton's answer. The trip takes half an hour longer but costs only £6 and waits 10mins less.

The fastest way is probably to get a taxi. The journey time is 44 mins (though probably a bit more allowing for traffic), but there will be very short wait times at Kings Cross and it will drop you at the door of your Heathrow terminal. The cost is about 75 pounds, which split four ways is not bad: for four adults that is actually cheaper than the Heathrow Express.
The next fastest way is to take a taxi from King's Cross to Paddington and then get the Heathrow Express to Heathrow. Taxi fare is going to be about 16 pounds, which split between 4 people is pretty reasonable. The time is about 20 mins for the taxi (add a few minutes of wait time at peak hours), the express time is 15 mins and the max wait for the express is 15 mins. Add five or ten minutes to get from the station to the terminal and it comes in on average at 60-65 minutes. However for four adults this will be more expensive than the taxi option. If any of your party are children then that changes things - children travel free on the Heathrow Express. This contributes less to climate change, if that's significant for you.
As Michael Hampton points out, the tube direct on the Piccadilly line is going to be much, much cheaper than any of the above, and only slightly longer. The journey is around 55 minutes, with maybe five minutes to get to the underground, a five minute wait and 5-10 minutes to get from the underground to the terminal, it's likely to clock in at 70-75 minutes. Hoever its only a few pounds per person, and is undoubtedly the best value for your pound. It's also the most environmentally friendly option.

Use the Tube? Take the Piccadilly line to Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3 station. The trip takes about an hour and there is service every 10 minutes or so all day.
