What's the best route from Heathrow T3 to Danescroft on Brent Street? *
I'd prefer to avoid Heathrow Express. *I will have a large, heavy,
wheeled suitcase, so steps and long walks are best avoided, although I
can deal with either.

I've come up with the following options:

Piccadilly to Leicester Square, Northern to Golders Green, 83/183/230
bus to my destination.
£4.40

Piccadilly to Leicester Square, Northern to Hendon Central, 83/183/230
bus to my destination.
£4.40

Piccadilly to Leicester Square, Northern to Brent Cross or Hendon
Central (which is closer/easier?), walk to my destination.
£3.50

Heathrow Connect to Ealing Broadway, 83 bus to my destination.
£6.40

Piccadilly to District to Ealing Broadway, 83 bus to my destination.
£2.70

Piccadilly to Piccadilly to Alperton, 83 bus to my destination.
£2.70

Any other suggestions? *Thoughts on these options? *Is the 83 an
interesting ride?

My flight arrives Thursday morning at 9:35.

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.
