From Heathrow Airport the easiest and cheapest way to get to Bethnal Green is to take the Underground and the journey will take between one and one and a half hours. There is an Underground station at each terminal.
- Purchase your Oyster card from the ticket window at the airport Underground station. You will not purchase your Oyster card from a machine.
- Oyster Cards are the cheapest way to travel on public transport in London.
- You will pay £3 for the card and I advise that you put £10 credit on the card.
- When you leave you can return your card and get your £3 and any remaining credit back.
- You use the card by ‘touching in and out‘ at Tube stations and by ‘touching in’ when you board a bus. You do not ‘touch out’ when getting off the bus.
- Here is TFL’s page on using Oyster.
