Getting from London to Heathrow, and vice versa, should be fairly easy. After all, with regular Underground services heading to the airport from Central London, it should effectively be one of the easiest airports in the country to get to.
However, there are numerous problems in leaving such a journey up to the whims of the Underground, and doing so could leave you experiencing many issues. Not only is the Tube notorious for strikes and service problems, but there is also the chance for delays to your flight on your return getting you back into the country long after the last trains have finished for the night. Therefore, simple disruptions on the way could easily leave you missing your plane, whilst flight delays coming back could mean you miss the train.
Paying for Heathrow transfers will give you a huge amount of peace of mind and ensure that you make your flight no matter what happens. The added benefit of using a Heathrow airport taxi is that, even if there are road works and therefore tailbacks on the road, the taxi will be able to use the bus lanes to breeze past many of the problem areas.
The tube may well be a very easy and convenient way to get around when you do not have to be somewhere at a certain time. However, when you have a plane to catch it will be unlikely that you can rely upon the service, and Heathrow transfers will be a far more sensible option. And you may well be surprised just how cost-effective a Heathrow airport taxi can be, especially when the cost is split between multiple passengers.
So, unless you can be certain that you can get there on time using public transport, it will always be safer, and potentially in some cases actually cheaper, to get a taxi to the airport instead.
