Taxi from one terminal to another at LHR?
Hi everyone, quick question, would it be possible to get a cab from the Hilton terminal four to the upper class dedicated virgin check in terminal three?
Thanks for your help.

The 4 min journey with the Elizabeth/ Piccadilly line from Terminal 4 to Terminal 2 & 3 takes about 4mins and is accessible. From Heathrow Terminal 2&3 station its a 10min walk to T3 on moving escalators.

Even if you could get a driver to take you, it'll be hugely slower by car than tube or train. It's a huge long way round all the runways and maintenance hangers, then normally quite a bit of traffic through the tunnels and around T2/T3
Also the train and the tube are free for inter-terminal transfers...

If it has to be a vehicle drop off, is it worth asking the hotel if they can provide the vehicle, or at least organise it. It will no doubt have a markup on it, but compared to seeing a taxi driver cry before they take you on a circuit of M25 in revenge, it might be a easier solution?

You might want to check the Hilton Heathrow Terminal 4 thread in the Hilton forum. The Hilton T4 used to (and I believe still does) have a fixed price arrangement (£20) for a taxi/car service to provide a transfer to a terminal for those that did not want to use the TfL bus, the train/tube, or the Hoppa. You could contact the hotel to confirm.
sorry I lost this thread as it had been moved. I am staying at the Hilton terminal four. But was worried about getting to the upper class wing to check in. Any suggestions,anyone?
Thank you all for your help.

P.S. this journey would be a lot cheaper and faster from any of the hotels north of LHR, and possibly from some in Kensington.

IF you don't arrive by car, just check in at zone A and take the lift to the clubhouse (or whatever it's called these days). Otherwise, ask the T4 Hilton to book a car.

OK Kensington might be a bit of a stretch. But not by much if you're going against peak travel direction and the M25 around LHR is a mess - and in Kensington you can simply hail a black cab.
