You need to keep in mind the fact that each of the four terminals are categorized in terms of world wide destinations. For instance, Terminal 1 is exclusively meant for UK and Ireland flights, Terminal 2 for European destinations, Terminal 3 for long haul destinations and Terminal 4 is the exclusive domain of British Airways and partner KLM's European and long haul destinations.
The London Underground rail popularly referred to as the "Tube" plies to all the four terminals of Heathrow airport from Paddington Tube station through the Heathrow Express. It is a mere 15 minutes ride but doesn't come cheap. One way tickets to Heathrow cost £12.
It is absolutely mandatory on your part to confirm the terminal number well in advance of you departure to Heathrow. Most international airlines provide outbound passengers with the option of checking in at the Paddington station itself.
Apart from the Paddington tube, another good option is the Piccadily tube, which covers all four Heathrow terminals but it takes an hour to reach Heathrow.
Of course, there are other options like the signature black London taxi as well as the mini cabs. These days, the hotels are smart enough and most London hotels do provide shuttle services to Heathrow airport.There are many london heathrow airport hotels which would provide you best amenities in the hotel itself.
