If you don't get traffic, you may want to put England in the subject line. I wonder if there's an even better forum too, but wherever it ends up, put as much detail in the subject line as you can. Hatzlacha!

If she's flying from Israel, it is mot likely to be either Luton or Heathrow.
Probably the best bet is book a car service. You'll need to provide flight
information, arrival time and terminal, how many pieces of suitcase.

The driver will meet the passenger at the arrival hall, though it helps if
she has a local (UK) mobile phone.

I haven't taken GG-airport, but Hendon-Heathrow is about £30-33,
I think to Luton would be £40 or so. There's a parking surcharge (for
Heathrow) and waiting surcharge (ask the dispatcher, I think usually
the first 30min is free).

There are a number of local companies, I tend to use S Express. Or
look up minicabs close to GG on Kabbee app.

DO NOT TAKE BLACK CABS--YOU CAN EASILY SPEND £80 to £100 IF
TRAVELLING DURING RUSH HOURS...

There's a sherut service you have to book beforehand, not sure if the costs but it'd much cheaper than a private car service, their no is +442088005566

Actually if she's landing at Luton, the cheaper option is just to take National Express coach from Luton to Golders Green, probably about £10-12 if I recall.

If landing at Heathrow, the cheapest option is take the tube (Piccadilly Line) to King's Cross and change over to northbound Northern Line to Golders Green, but I won't really recommend this as she'll have to schlep 2 suitcases on stairs... National Express is not a good option for Heathrow as coaches only go to Victoria.

Some people put a notice for a shared ride on EdgwareK.

thanks for your suggestions! I definitely don't want her schlepping suitcases on public transp.
-she most likely will land in Healthrow, so we will look into your suggestions. Thanks!

The jewish sherut service is called Darkei Noam. I don't have the number with me right now but they definitely drop off in GG. I think they charge around £12-15 for Heathrow and they use a 8-seater van usually. It should work for flights arriving from Tel Aviv.
