    • bus from 6-8 quid

    • taxi/drive from 19-28 quid
    • towncar from 62 quid

as well as airport shuttles and the like

Alternatively, you can get the Flixbus from London Finchley Road to Cambridge. This is cheaper and quicker than the National Express (£5.49 vs £24.00), even with the added underground travel:

To get from Heathrow to Finchley Road, you can now take the Elizabeth Line to London Paddington – which is cheaper than the Heathrow Express. After you get to Paddington, you have 2 options:

  • Circle/Hammermsith & City/Bakerloo Line to Baker Street,
  • Metropolitan/Jubilee Line to Finchley Road

I have no affiliation with Flixbus.

Get the Piccadilly line from Heathrow to King’s Cross (~1 hour) then catch a direct train to Cambridge (again ~1 hour). You can check trains from London KX to Cambridge here. The last one today leaves at 00.31 but in general I’d assume it will be around midnight. Provided you get onto the tube at Heathrow by about 10.40 pm you should be fine.

If really pushed for time you could get the Heathrow Express to Paddington then the tube to King’s Cross but I would advise against this. The Heathrow Express is ridiculously expensive (£20) and would save you 15-20 minutes at most.

The cheapest (and simplest) way would be to use National Express coaches (i.e. bus) that goes direct from Heathrow central bus station (5 minute walk from terminal 3) to Cambridge. Tickets start from about £15, depending on the day/time and how long in advance you book.

I just checked their website – the first bus in the morning leaves Heathrow at 5 am and the last one at 11:59 pm (although I wouldn’t recommend this one, as it’s not a direct one and you’ll spend almost two hours in Luton airport when changing to another bus). The last direct one leaves at 11:35 pm. Hence at 10 pm you should be fine. The journey takes 2 hours 20 minutes.

Another option is train, but it’s more expensive and there are no direct trains – and it’s not faster.
