The hotel is perfectly positioned if you need to get to Heathrow North specifically. The shuttle bus is your new best friend. It shows up like a knight in a squeaky, yellow armoured vehicle. It’s not glamorous, but it will get you to Terminal 5 without you having to think about traffic.
You’ll share the shuttle with other people who look just as determined and slightly dishevelled as you. There’s a weird, silent camaraderie. You are all in this together, heading towards the great abyss of airport security.
If you have a few hours to kill, there are a couple of fast-food spots nearby. It’s not a cultural hub. It’s a pit stop. And you know what? Sometimes a pit stop is exactly what you need. You get your food, you go back to your room, and you don’t speak to anyone. Bliss.
