Taking a Flight from London

Flights from London to Madrid depart from London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and City Aiport, depending upon which airline is involved. To get to Heathrow, the express service from Paddington is the easiest way to travel. There is an express rail connection to Gatwick (via Victoria), Stansted (via Liverpool Street) and Luton (via St Pancras). All airports are also well served by National Express coaches. London City is also easily accessible via the Docklands Light Railway. For larger groups, minibuses and taxis are also available, and maybe most suitable for very late or early flights.

Flying into Madrid

Spain's capital is elegant, sophisticated and full of energy. See the masterpieces in the Prado museum or watch the Galacticos strut their stuff for Real Madrid. All flights from London to Madrid touch down at Barajas Airport, just to the north-east of the city. To get into town, there is a rapid 24 hour Airport Express bus service (terminating at Atocha Station). Barajas also has Metro stations at Terminals 2 and 4, and the Madrid Metro runs from 6:00 a.m. until 2 a.m., so should be a useful option for all arrivals from London.
