Default Best route from Croydon (London) to Heathrow?

Your friendly local minicab company.

and/or cheapest tickets?

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?


AFAIK it's charged as a normal bus service, so nearly free. You'll need
an Oyster or contactless credit card. It's timetabled to take 97
minutes, but various bits of the interweb say it can take up to 130
minutes if traffic is bad. No idea how crowded it gets, but it starts
in Croydon so that'll work in your favour.
