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 towns like Aylesbury or High Wycombe, up to £240 for Hereford and similar distances. That's a different service from a short local hop to central London, which Kings doesn't offer.
