It's almost a longer walk to go from the track to the taxi queue.

No reason, just walk it.  After that many hours on planes and trains,

Is there any danger of the Heathrow Express being shut down if there is a Tube 
strike?

Also, looking at Google maps, it looks like one should just walk from the 
Paddington Station to the Metropole (9 minute walk, straight up Praed street 
to Edgware Rd). Â For those of us in good health with wheels on our suitcase 
and arriving during daylight, is there any reason not to just walk it?

Thanks, Ross

How long does it take by tube? I land at 9:25 pm and would prefer to

Take Heathrow Express. Â  You won't be sorry. Â  That's a really long tube 
ride at 9:25 pm.
