Three trains and two changes, at Canning Town and at Green Park, on a ride of about an hour and a quarter. With luggage the Elizabeth line is easier but dearer: £15.50, 65 to 67 minutes, by the DLR to Canning Town, a second DLR to Custom House and then the Elizabeth line.
Terminals 2 and 3 are the first Heathrow station on the way in, Terminal 5 is further on, and not every train serves Terminal 4.
Tap in at the DLR station and tap out at Heathrow, or you may be charged a maximum fare.
