Anyone happen to know how much it costs these days to take a taxi from
Heathrow to central London.

http://www.heathrow-airport-guide.co...-transfer.html
.... quotes 40-45 UKP, although it could easily be nearer 50, depending
on the time of day and traffic.

I am staying in Bloomsbury and trying to
figure out the most convenient and economical way to get there.

Piccadilly line direct from Heathrow to either Holborn or Russell Square
will be very much cheaper and may well be quicker.

The trains from Heathrow have reasonably adequate luggage areas by the
doors and should be fine unless you have a lot of large suitcases.

(If you are arriving at Terminal 4, let us know, as Heathrow Terminal 4
station is closed until September.)
