The setting
This hotel is near Exit 4 of the M4 highway, about a 10-minute drive from Heathrow Airport and about 22 km from central London. It’s more of a practical place to stay right near the airport than a base for sightseeing; if you don’t want to go out in the evening, you can take advantage of the hotel’s bar and restaurant. It features a quiet atmosphere and functional amenities, making it particularly well-suited for a stay before an early flight or after a long flight.
What to expect
The rooms are equipped with comfortable beds, thick curtains, a shower with good water pressure, free Wi-Fi, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. On the ground floor, you’ll find a bar and restaurant where you can enjoy dinner at a table or have a cocktail. The staff at Premier Inn is known for being open and friendly toward guests. Onsite parking is available for a fee on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, if you’re arriving by car, the hotel recommends arriving early.
Things to do nearby
Virtual Aviation is just a few minutes' drive from the hotel and is ideal for those who want to try their hand at a flight simulator before or after their trip. The London Motor Museum is also nearby and easy to visit. The airplane-spotting spots on Myrtle Avenue and in Hatton are also just a few minutes’ drive away and are great places to stop along the way. Central London is about 22 km to the east.
Best for
Recommended for couples who are stopping here on their way, for plane spotters, as well as for guests driving to Heathrow Airport who want to spend a quiet night near the terminal, take a shower, and get a good night’s sleep in a comfortable bed, while avoiding the high prices in central London.
How to get to the hotel
It takes about 10 minutes to drive to Heathrow Airport. So you’ll have no trouble handling even an early-morning check-in or a late-night arrival. If you take Exit 4 off the M4, you’ll arrive right at the hotel. From central London, the drive takes about 30–40 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. Alternatively, you can take the Elizabeth Line or Piccadilly Line to Heathrow Station and then take a taxi from there.

Your 2 days, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Check-in, plane spotting and a drink downstairs
Park your car in the lot on the grounds and take a short break. Take a short detour to Myrtle Avenue or Hatton Avenue and spend about an hour watching the afternoon flights fly just above the fence. If you’d like to try more interactive activities, book a session at the nearby Virtual Aviation centre. When you return to the hotel, have an early dinner at the restaurant, enjoy a cocktail at the bar, and then turn in early.
Motor museum morning and onward travel
If your flight is later, keep the room booked for a shower before heading to the terminal. Travelling on into London instead? It's roughly 22 km east; the Elizabeth line from Heathrow gets you to Paddington in about 15 minutes.

FAQ
What is the cheapest time to visit London?
In London, prices are lowest in January and February, when the hustle and bustle of Christmas and New Year’s has died down. Airfare and hotel rates drop, and weekday stays are significantly cheaper than weekend stays. You can also travel at relatively low prices in late November, before the Christmas markets are in full swing. As a general rule, it’s more cost-effective to book several months in advance than shortly before your trip.
How many days are enough to see London?
In three or four days, you’ll be able to see the main sights, such as the Tower, Westminster, and some of the most important art museums, as well as take a stroll along the South Bank. In five days, you’ll have time to explore neighbourhoods like Greenwich and Notting Hill, or catch a show in the West End. If you have a layover at Heathrow Airport, one overnight stay is enough to rest during a long trip and enjoy a proper meal.
What is the rainiest month in London?
November tends to be the wettest month in London, closely followed by October and January. That said, rain is spread fairly evenly across the year and rarely lasts all day. A compact umbrella and a waterproof jacket handle most trips. October, when this stay falls, usually brings a mix of bright, crisp days and the odd shower.
Which season is best for visiting London?
Early fall is a particularly recommended time to visit, and your trip in October will fall right during this period. The park is bathed in golden hues, the summer crowds have already dispersed, and temperatures range from 12 to 16 °C—perfect for walking. Late spring, from May through June, is also an excellent time to travel, as the nights are still long and the weather is beautiful—all before summer high-season prices take effect.
Is London or Paris a better city to visit?
It depends on the purpose of the trip. London is appealing because it’s easy to speak English there, and it offers world-class museums with free admission, theatres with live performances, and plenty of green spaces. Paris, on the other hand, stands out for its cuisine, classic architectural landmarks that can be explored on foot, and a more compact city centre. For a first visit, London is better suited for a longer stay or repeat trips. Paris, on the other hand, is ideal for a long weekend trip with a specific purpose in mind.
