Question
Hi Michael,
I asked about get to Harwich from Gatwick airport more or less 45 days ago.
But the air companies in Brazil changed the airport, so i need to know how can i arrive in
Harwich from Heathrow airport.
Ok, i will arrive in Heathrow airport in may 2, about 11:30 am and i need to go to Harwich.
It has a train station inside Heathrow airport?

Please explain to me that step by step.

Thank you again for your kind attention, best regards,

Fátima

Answer
Hello Fátima,

Thank you for your question.

There is a train station inside Heathrow Airport which takes you directly to Paddington Station in the centre of London. From here you will need to take an underground train (metro) to Liverpool Street where you can take a train to Harwich International. This journey will take  about 2 hours 40 minutes altogether and will cost about £44 (151 reais)

Alternatively, you can take the underground (metro) from Heathrow to central London, and then another underground train to Liverpool Street to meet the national rail train to Harwich International. This journey takes slightly longer at nearly 3 hours, but costs only £27 (92 reais)

For both options there are regular departures from Heathrow to Liverpool Street. There is an hourly service from Liverpool Street to Harwich International.

You can plan journeys at www.nationalrail.co.uk
If you choose to use the underground option, you may find the Transport for London website helpful: www.tfl.gov.uk

I hope that this has answered your question.

Regards
Michael
