If you don't mind a bit of a trundle round North West London then the
cheapest and simplest option is Bus 140 to Harrow Bus Station and then
Bus 183 to Brent Street. *Total cost £4 in cash or £1.80 using PAYG..
You've got one escalator to get up from the low level concourse to the
bus station at Heathrow and level transfer at Harrow Bus Station.

The 140 is a busy service and takes an hour to Harrow. *Frequency is
every 8 minutes. Departs bus stop 19 at Heathrow Central Bus Station.
Arrives stop A at Harrow.

The 183 is also pretty busy and takes 45 mins to Hendon. Frequency
every 12 minutes. Departs stop E at Harrow Bus Station.

It'll take an hour on the tube to Central London and probably 40 mins
or so on the Northern Line so are you really any further forward going
that way? * Obviously the bus might get delayed so there's a risk
there but I assume getting *from* the airport is less time critical
than a return journey would be.



Not that I'm against going by bus - not at all in fact, I'm all in for
taking the unconventional route (see my reply to David) - but I think
that estimate of a tube journey time is a bit over the top... Journey
Planner has it taking around an hour and a quarter - the scheduled
time on the Picc to Leicester Sq is 50 mins from Heathrow Central,
then on the Northern to Golders Green it's just over 20 minutes.
