Rotterdam - 15 minutes by bike, 10 by car, Amsterdam - about 40 minutes by car. If I have to go by public transport, I'll take AMS, since it is a pain to get to RTM and takes about an hour (seriously, not kidding!), AMS is about 1h - 1h15m by public transport.

LHR
car:
- 30 minutes by car to T5 (35~40 to the others) with clear motorways
- anywhere from 45 to 120 minutes in rush hour
taxi:
- £50
public transport:
- train to Woking then National Express - 90 minutes £22
why does Heathrow still not have a rail connection to the South?

Closest BA airport for you
I live in Ireland and the drive to Dublin is 3 hours. Ok there are EI codeshares and understand it is not in the UK, but got me thinking. Are there corners of UK that one has to drive long distances to start with BA?
