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

Walk across the platform and wait for the next District Line train
(it'll usually be there in a couple of minutes or so). Again, you don't
need to look at where it's going. You'll notice that this train is much
larger than the Piccadilly Line train, with much more headroom. It will
probably have green handrails.


Yeah. Basically the Piccadilly and District stop on opposite sides of
the same platform at Hammersmith and Baron's Court, but by Earl's
Court, the Piccadilly Line is deep underground while the District is
still on the surface. Sadly no District Line trains run from the
Hammersmith branch to the Bayswater branch, so you still need to
change at Earl's Court, but this time there's no walking involved
since all trains call at the same platform.

Tube trains run every 3-10 minutes, no need to memorise schedules.
