Take a taxi. There are plenty of services, and you’ll pay around £50. You might be able to save a few pennies by taking buses, but in my opinion it’s not worth the heartache when buses are late/cancelled, you get sweaty by walking/running between connections, depending on the type of bus you might be separated from your luggage…
No. Take a taxi.
One very cheap option will be to take two night buses, one to Aldwych, and then the N9 to Heathrow.
Looking at the Aldwych night bus map, all the buses from the part of the world you’re staying in stop at stop S, and the N9 leaves from stop R, which is immediately adjacent, so your walking will be minimal, and there’ll be plenty of people around whatever time of night it is. The N9 takes a good hour and a half mind, and only runs three times an hour.
Be aware that many people will have vague, distant, but strongly negative memories of night buses. They are a lot better than they used to be!
At that time of day, your only real options are to take the bus (which will accept your oyster card), hire a taxi, or catch a ride from a friend.
You could also use bus or taxi to get to Paddington station, then take the Heathrow Express, which starts at 5:10am, even on Sundays, with regular ticket prices starting at £21, or as low as £6.99 if you book 90 days in advance.
The metro doesn’t start running until after 5:00am, which would not get you to the airport in time for your flight.
