I'm not sure I understand these directions. Frustrating. They don't seem to let me know where I get out.
Can someone help me if I am making a mistake?

I find Heathrow Central Rail Station - which is in or near Heathrow Airport.

There, I take the Heathrow Express to Paddington Railway Station, 16 minutes away.
I get off at Zone "6, 1"?
Then I walk for 8 minutes to the underground section there, and take the Bakerloo Line. I go towards "Elephant and Castle". I get out at Zone 1 - which is Baker St Underground Station?
From here, I take the Jubilee Line towards Stanmore. I get out at Zone 1, 2? What is "Zone 1, 2"?

Then, I'm at St John's Wood and just have to walk the rest of the way?
Surgery completed. Mission accomplished!

Or more simple:

Catch the Picadilly underground line from Heathrow to Green Park, change there onto the Jubilee line to St Johns Wood, the hospital is 2 minutes walk from there.

Before you criticise a man walk a mile in his shoes, after that who cares? your a mile away and have his shoes.

have you booked a consultation cellar?

one of the guys on here have just got given a 5 week wait (i think). The underground is complicated to use ... but its very fast and efficent so good luck!

5 weeks for a consultation!?
Christ.
No I haven't booked it yet. I want to make sure I know how to get there. I have never been to London, and my sense of direction isn't my strong suit.

Wow. Why didn't the route planner say that instead?

Few questions:
1. Where is the Picadilly underground line - in the airport?
2. Is the fare/ticket a set amount? Or do I need to specify I'm going to Green Park?
3. Where do I get the ticket?

You should have booked the consulation first mate, you could have a long wait now

you get underground tickets on the day £5.20 and you can travel anywhere all day. Dont worry many tourists manage to navigate london you wont find it a problem

you need to phone them to book a consultation. i booked mine on friday, have to wait till june 30th because i wanted a friday appointment.

Regarding gettin there. When you arrive a heathrow just follow signs for underground/tube. get the piccadilly line to Green Park, change to Jubilee line to St Johns Wood.
If your still worried about where to go just have a look on google maps to get directions

A couple of weeks, I think. Give them an email or call.

To my knowledge he does not do a finance plan.
