Default Getting from Heathrow airport to Bayswater inn hotel by tube.

"vmnvmcxbv" typed

Is this route doable with one large bag on wheels and small backpack? I've
never been to London and don't know how crowded London Tube is. Am I
correct
to understand that tube trains run on pre-determined schedule (seems like a
foreign concep to me )?


Easily.

Ignore times given; with trains running every 3 minutes or so, you just
take the first that comes, so long as it's not packed. It might be
worthwhile to let a crush-loaded train pass to give yourself a bit of
space.

The rush hour passengers will have passed by the time you travel, though
the 'twirly'[1] brigade may be out in force.
