Neither Google Maps nor Traveline.info seems to consider neither Heathrow Express nor cabs. Is there any service that would?

  Rome2Rio sometimes has flaws, although it may depend on settings. I know that from the airport near me it sends people trying to get to Watford to see the Harry Potter Studio tour on a very strange route involving multiple changes because it’s a shorter route, rather than going north 1 mile to the bus exchange and getting an express bus.

The simple answer is that depending on the address Heathrow Express or a taxi may not be the fastest way to get to your address and routing apps are taking that into account.

London is highly congested, road speeds are often 8mph for cars, so taxis can get stuck in that traffic.

Heathrow Express goes into Paddington Station on the western side of central London, which is fine if you have accommodations on that side of the town. However if your destination is elsewhere by the time you have got off at Paddington and then found the correct route to continue your onward journey the time saved by using the Express can be eaten up.

If you can give us some idea of where the address is further it may be possible to give more focused help.

  Let's try the Lea Bridge Library. The answer very well might be HEX, Bakerloo to Oxford Circus, Victoria to Walthamstow Central and then a quick cab ride. This is the sort of route nothing automated finds.

  Google Maps says it's 1:04 to Walthamstow Central via HEX and Bakerloo and Victoria vs 1:14 via Green Park. However, that's not reliable as transfers take time which Google Maps doesn't take into account. And of course it's much cheaper as well. Thanks!

It also suffers from the problem of trying to find the best solution at the minute and a cross London trip has so many solutions that a better one five minutes later will be crowded out. Peruse the schedule explorer option. Also don't forget Google Maps doesn't add time for underground transfers which can be long (or not) -- this adds a lot of manual work to the search. These 3D maps of Underground stations can help.

As for using a cab, it's very likely a car can't beat the underground so getting as close to your destination as you can with it is a good idea and then swapping to a cab might be good but you need to manually search the station in the vicinity of your destination. Search for your destination first in Google Maps, then click the [x] clear search button and enter underground station to find the underground stations in the vicinity. Also note the difference between the traditional Hackney carriages and Private hire (minicabs).
