  • If you're arriving late at night and need somewhere to stay, check out these hotels close to London Heathrow Airport.

    • Hilton London Heathrow Airport
  • If you plan on using London’s public transport system, consider buying an Oyster Card while at Heathrow Airport (LHR). This is a credit card-sized smart card that allows you to pay for any public means of transport, including the Tube, London Overground, Trams, and buses.
  • San Jose International Airport is about 30 miles away from San Francisco International Airport (SFO), which offers flights to London. Of the two, SFO generally has the better amenities, although they have higher passenger traffic and, therefore, long lines. On the other hand, SFO is the only one of the two offering direct flights to London.
  • Upon arrival at Heathrow Airport, consider exchanging your US dollars for British pounds. It is the official currency used in London and the United Kingdom. There are several Travelex Foreign Currency Exchange shops around the airport, so be sure to look out for one.
  • On top of Heathrow Airport, two other major airports in the London region are London Gatwick and London City Airport. Therefore, if you would rather land at an airport closer to central London, you should book a flight that lands at London City Airport. The two airports also provide a great option for anyone looking to avoid Heathrow Airport's long queues and ever-busy atmosphere.
  • SFO is relatively busier than SJC Airport. Therefore, if you’ll be flying out of SFO, please try to arrive a few hours ahead of time to ensure you don’t miss your flight.
