Default Best route from Croydon (London) to Heathrow?

1] Tube: Piccadilly Circus to Heathrow. Also, why does everything on the
internet say depart from Piccadilly Circus for Heathrow? They'd be
arriving at Victoria Station from East Croydon, so getting the Tube from
there to South Kensington would get them on the route, surely?

Yes - Barons Court or Hammersmith offer the easiest interchange with the
Picadilly Line. You could avoid a nasty change at Vistoria by going via
Blackfriars instead; this should be a step-free interchange.


2] The X26 express bus from Whitgift Centre. How reliable is this? Does
it get packed? Does anybody know the typical prices for one way: Croydon
to Heathrow?

3] Tube from Victoria then train from Paddington. This sounds to me the
most circuitous route, but I could be wrong. Possibly the most expensive
too?

Certainly expensive. If you choose this route you may find a 36 or 436 bus
between Vistoria and Paddington easier than the tube.
