The meter said £0 when we got in the taxi and (approximately) £27 when we got out, with no extras that I saw. I watched the meter the whole way, cursing the BAA beancounters that created this mess.
Okay. Still seems high to me, but London taxi drivers are a pretty honest lot, so I would definately give them the benefit of the doubt.

It costs me roughly 40 Pounds if I take a cab from LHR to the Park Lane Sheraton, though.
