That said, trains and tubes to Heathrow and Gatwick both leave from most London train stations. So you could meet near a train station that will take you to both airports (Victoria definitely links to both) for a drink.

Don't underestimate the chaos that the Olympic period will bring to travel plans, and make sure to use this resource to see if stations and routes will be closed or subject to delays!

I can't stress that enough. We've been through weeks of planning for the events at work.

Maybe better to meet at ROTR. There isn't a huge amount of leeway - that was the latest train compatible with being reasonably confident of BB making her check in and even though the Olympics will have finished over a week earlier there can be problems on the tube in the normal run of things.
