Once upon a time, (on Wed, 16 Jun 1999 07:22:28 GMT, to be precise!), Huw
Millington uttered the following profundities....
I don't know that part of the world that well to know where the LEGO shops
are, but I do know that LHR is very close to Windsor. You can see the runway
clearly when at the top of the park. A taxi there would probably only cost
10GBP.

Last time I was at LLW they still had soccer starter sets, but no extra
players, IIRC.

A taxi from Terminal 4 to Terminal 3 costs 9 pounds, so
Windsor will be a wee bit more. However, there are frequent
bus services to Windsor town centre, and you can take a bus
from there to LLW. It's easy to find, it has LLW on the side!
(Both the WTC and the LHR ones).

There is also a TRU a mere 5 minutes drive from Heathrow, and
yes, they do have quite a few starter sets for 15.99. No
other soccer sets at all. I could have driven you from Heathrow
to TRU (I work near Terminal 4), but as you are arriving on
a weekend and not a weekday, would not be possible.
