London Heathrow (LHR) has good links to Central London. You can take the Heathrow Express train to Paddington station. The journey takes 15 minutes. It is fast but relatively expensive (over £20). From Paddington station, go to the Underground station, and look for the Bakerloo line travelling south. Change at Waterloo station to the Jubilee line travelling east.

Alternatively you can take the underground (Picaddilly line) direct from Heathrow for about £6. This will take upto an hour. You should change at Green Park station and take the Jubilee line travelling east to London Bridge. See The London Toolkit.
The alternative is to travel to Borough station. In this case, continue on the Picaddilly line to Kings Cross/St Pancras station. Then change to the Northern line to Borough station. It is a few minutes longer to walk, but less complicated.
