I imagine there might not be any trains past the one you know about. It can be tricky to find a taxi at Heathrow late at night. You might get lucky, but I have had to stand in a queue for quite a long while as obviously, no one is arriving at the airport that time of night in a taxi.

I'd look into taking a bus to somewhere more central in the city centre and then getting a taxi from there. Or there may be buses that go to the Wembley area from Heathrow?

Alternatively, you could book a taxi/car service in advance and give them a call as soon as you've landed - in case the flight is delayed? You don't want to pay them for lots of 'waiting time' - I've been stung with that before. I think the car services have fixed prices for airport runs and would imagine you'd be in the £35 range...but that is an educated guess with no direct knowledge. Good luck!

I imagine a taxi from Wembley would be around £50 if pre-booked. It's £35 from SW London (or up to £60 for a black cab).

Minicab from Heathrow to Wembley should be around £25. Look up local minicab companies on the web and call for prices. If you are coming in internationally they will probably want you to call again when you land.

Thanks for the info, DH's bags didn't appear for ages so he was going to try and get BA to pay for the taxi due to the delay. I don't know what he did in the end as I went to bed.
