I am unsure if you meant to say Red Lion Road above as the arrival point....

We take the nine minute walk to the bus stop of King Charles Road on Ewell Road and board the 2304 London United service 281 to Hounslow (Grove Road on Hanworth Road) that arrives there at 2345 on Tuesday evening.

With Terminal 5 being home to BA, we decide not to take to the skies and instead descend into the bowels of the airport. We head down to the Piccadilly Line platforms and join the jet lagged American tourists heading into London on the 05:58 departure. We head right through the city and still on until Arnos Grove, alighting there at 07:19 on Wednesday morning.
