Default Airports in London

Hi!

I have found an internship in London with a placement agency (Internship in London) and I am starting in 2 weeks. But they do not provide the airplain ticket and I did not chose their option of airport transfer by taxi.
I need to get my ticket but there are many airports in London (heathrow, gatwick, stansted, luton...) and I don't know which one to choose!!! I don't understand if they are linked to central London by underground or if I have to get a specific bus or a taxi. My accommodation will be in Barons Court.
Anyone can help me please?

Hi

All London airports have direct links into the city, look on the airport of your choice as they will give you details on how to get into London

I have done Stansted to London for you.

Stansted Airport: To and from London

Stansted, Heathrow and Gatwick all have express trains into London which will be the fastest way. There is no dedicated express train from Luton to London. From Heathrow you can also take the Picadilly Line (the tube) into London however it is about 1 1/2 hours and there are no luggage racks. There are also buses from all the airports which go into Central London.

The easiest airport to get to Barons Court is Heathrow, by Piccadilly line tube in 30 min. The overall cost depends on availability of cheapish flight to Heathrow (LHR) from your local airport (in France?). All other airports have direct train link to Central London, but will take up to an hour and obviously costs more, plus underground fare to your hotel.

I would just search for the most convenient and reasonably-priced flights to and from London first. If you are near Paris, Lille or Calais, you should take Eurostar train direct of St Pancras, from which you catch Piccadilly line tube to your hotel.
