On my first few trips, I took a black cab from Heathrow to Oxford Street. The drive is a little over an hour and the fare ₤70. I have since switched to the Heathrow Express. Paddington takes all of 15 minutes and ₤16.50. From there, connections are easy as pie. You can be at your hotel in less than half the time and money it takes by cab.
