fastest way is by plane. London has three international airports: Heathrow,

continent to the south-east of England.

When you are in London you can choose from four different means of
transport: bus, train, underground or taxi. The typical bus in London is a
red double-decker. The first London bus started running between
Paddington and the City in 1829. It carried 40 passengers and cost a
shilling for six kms.
The next to arrive were the trains; now there are twelve railway
stations in London. The world's first underground line was opened between
Baker St. and the City in 1863. Now there are ten underground lines and
273 underground stations in use. The London underground is also called
the Tube, because of the circular shape of its deep tunnels.
