Hi, you can use Google Maps with cycling as means of transportation.
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Paddington+Station,+London,+United+Kingdom/Heathrow+Airport,+Greater+London+TW6/@51.5096173,-0.309095,12.39z/data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x48761aad9e1d4b9f:0x9d4d9d16492685d8!2m2!1d-0.1771284!2d51.5167117!1m5!1m1!1s0x48767234cdc56de9:0x8fe7535543f64167!2m2!1d-0.4542955!2d51.4700223!3e1
If you need a track file, you could go to ridewithgps.com or starve.com and draw that line there as well (or just dragging it from point A to point B, after you have selected that you will be cycling), and once defined the route can be exported as GPX file, which can be fed to almost any GPS device.
We cycled southwest from Heathrow down the A30. Whilst no specific off road cycle route, there are loads of cycle lanes to see you through busy parts and towns.
Thanks folks for the valuable advice. Much appreciated and we are looking forward to our little UK adventure next year.
I use cyclestreets website and app.

I've never cycled over in the west of the city, but it looks like you can take the cycle route 44 from Cranford / Hounslow West area to Hyde park which is just a short ride to Paddington.
You can also order free cycle route maps from "Transport for London" https://tfl.gov.uk/forms/12419.aspx. Also available in local libraries.
cheers, Steve
Thanks Steve. We will look at cyclestreets.
Happy and safe cyclung

There is a bicycle lane underground that will take you out of the airport. If information doesn't know about it, ask the taxi drivers, they will point you where to go.
Thanks Mike the tunnel sounds the way to get out of the airport. The remainder is now sorted thanks to all those who posted information.
Happy and safe cycling
