airport shuttles in London?

Looking for any recommendations of good services as well as
services to avoid to take us between LHR and central London.
It doesn't really matter to me whether it's a private car or a
shared shuttle.

Between the four of us we'll undoubtedly have too much luggage
for a regular taxi or the tube.

Take 2 taxi's? London black cabs do have a great deal of luggage space, in
the passenger cabin as well as the boot.
If you are bringing as much as the airlines allow and not adding additional
items you should be able to get by with one black cab.

Eight big bags plus carry ons. Not a chance if they are taking the
maximum. Two taxi's would do but a car service would be cheaper. Now
if they are traveling with less stuff then a taxi might make it for the
same price. FFM

I'm hoping it will be just one medium bag plus carry-on for each
person but can't say for sure--it depends on how lightly I can
convince my companions to pack! Darby Jo

It was Mark who introduced "as much as the airlines allow". I suspect
he was thinking of the minimal allowances for intra european services.
You can probably fit it all in one cab. I don't know how comfortable it
will be. FFM

Well I was thinking of piling it all up to head height and then more in the
boot, I didn't say it would be comfortable!
