Not arriving at cavernous T5 is apparently the trick for a quick exit. It was no more than 10-12 minutes from the moment we stepped off the plane until we had cleared customs and were in the arrivals hall. Unfortunately, our usual driver was stuck in traffic and at least 40 minutes out. So we hopped into a taxi and headed into the City.
To the newly renovated Corinthia Hotel on Whitehall Pl near the Thames and Parliament.
Great staff at the front desk and we were upgraded to a beautiful Executive Room on the 2nd floor...
