How much does a taxi cost from Heathrow Airport?
It depends on the taxi and the destination. Kings Heathrow Taxi runs fixed, all-in fares for long-distance transfers — from £80 to nearby towns like Reading or Windsor, up to £250 or more for Cardiff and similar distances. That's a different service from a short local hop to central London, which Kings doesn't offer.
