I was at Heathrow today. I'd definitely advise visitors arriving at
Terminal 4 to take the Heathrow Express to Paddington. I admit, it's

expensive, but it's worth it.

The Pic. line goes direct from Heathrow (1,2,3) to the following
Kensington stations:
* South Kensington (zone 1)
* Gloucster Road (zone 1)
* Knightsbridge (zone 1)
or you can change at Earls Court for:
* High St Ken (zone 1)
* Kensington Olympia (zone 2)
* Sloane square (zone 1)

If you take the Heathrow Express to Paddington, you still have to get
to your destination from there. You can take the circle line (during
the week and occasionaly at weekends) to:
* High St Ken (zone 1)
* Gloucster Road (zone 1)
* South Kensington (zone 1)
* Sloane Square
or the District line to:
* High St Ken (zone 1)
* Olympia (changing at Earls Court) (zone 2)


IMHO there is not much point in getting the Heathrow Express because it
costs more and you still have to negotiate the tube system.
