London Underground's (Tube) Picadilly Line goes to Heathrow
Terminal 5.
This is the cheapest AND the slowest way to get to Heathrow.
However, the Heathrow Express train, which costs £32 for return
ticket, will get you comfortably within 20 minutes from Terminal 5
to the Paddington Station in the centere of London.

Note: Only half of the Heathrow branch Piccadilly trains go to
Terminal 5, so you will have to change at either Hatton Cross or
Terminal 1,2,3 station if you aren't on this train
