It's called supply and demand. People will often pay a premium price for a better service.

I cannot do Piccadilly Circus - Paddington - Heathrow cheaper than Paddington - Heathrow.
I get your point about convenience having a premium. It is a valid enough statement in its own right without the need to make the comparison.

yes will do it this way, and if plans change ill add on the connection and collect bags re check in etc at lhr
its a shame because in this case its not like ex EU as no fare reduction
