Heathrow to Blackheath?

I wouldn't bother with Southwark to Waterloo East though - a quick look on a map reveals it to be a longer walk than at Charing Cross. Don't think so. The Bakerloo platforms are under Cockspur Street. The Jubilee platforms are to the West of Blackfriars Road. As I state elsewhere Southwark to Waterloo East is a direct interchange - you don't have to leave the station premises to get from platform to platform. To be honest, this is all a bit academic. I don't think that the journey is actually possible in the time specified. Probably won't even be out of Heathrow by the time required to be in Blackheath. Yeah, getting through Heathrow can be pretty slow. The flight might well be late in (could be late starting out in fact), you can spend a bit of time trundling around the taxiways of Heathrow before you even get out, baggage reclaim can take an age (if you've got baggage in the hold of course), etc etc. However if the OP's got the money then a mad dash across south London in a black cab could be fun - cutting through south London is all about knowing the sly backstreet routes. |
