The last time "slam doors" were used on the London Underground was in 1992.
There are no direct trains from Nottingham to Heathrow. You need to go: - Nottingham to London St. Pancras - St. Pancras to Paddington (Underground, Circle line) - London St. Pancras to Heathrow. Alternatively, cheaper but slower: - Nottingham to London St. Pancras - St. Pancras to Heathrow (Underground, Piccadilly line)

Christmas fair on a frozen River Thames
2004 . The last official White Christmas in London was in 1976.
The Christmas period of 1813-1814 was the last time the Frost Fair was held. The Thames River would freeze between old London Bridge and Blackfriars. Dozen of London traders would set up stalls and booths selling drinks, food, and wares, and souvenirs.

The nearest underground station is Tower Hill - on the District or Circle line. The Tower is a five-minute walk, and is well signposted. Last admission is 16:00.
In the last 20 years, it has snowed on Christmas Day in London only a few times. Notably, there was a light dusting of snow in 2004, and some flurries were reported in 2010. Overall, snow on Christmas Day in London is quite rare due to the city's temperate maritime climate.
There are trains right through the night - at roughly 40 minute intervals - according to the website 'thetrainline'
