One thing to note is that Covent Garden station gets very busy in the evening and weekends, not helped by the lifts to get from ground level to the platforms.
Take the Tube to Leicester Sq instead, it is only about 200yrds from Covent Garden.

I took this today all the way from Russell Sq to Uxbridge (about 20 stops!), some parts of it felt almost like countryside!...but yes, not good for getting to LHR
