I've read a lot about the options via Underground, Taxi, Private Car. What is the best option for two people with two bags and a couple carryons? Is Underground doable with luggage? We're adventurous and flexible - but is there room for the bags on the train?
Yes, no doubt.
And you won't be travelling during the 'rush hour' either (though the Tube remains busy across the weekend).
I'd suggest you head to one of the end carriages of the train (the Piccadilly line trains have 6 cars). There are no luggage racks, but there is space for putting luggage near the doors -
see this photo.
As ever, stay near your bags (thinking less about the risk of theft, rather you don't want folk to think they are abandoned) - but that doesn't mean you need to stand next to them or hold on to them the whole time.
Quadrillions of people with luggage routinely use the Underground to get to or from Heathrow, despite the impression you may get from reading some Flyertalk threads.
