Four Shopping Malls Attached to Some Runways

According to Successful Meetings, something called the Wall St. Cheat Sheet has issued its list of the 10 Worst Airports in the World. Coming in an #6 is London Heathrow, described as "four shopping malls that have been smashed together." The description is slightly harsher than it should be, though; you do go through security before being herded into the central shopping waiting area.

I shouldn't have to take a taxi to get into town which is the attitude you suggest for LGA. If Heathrow took that attitude it would cost me about $100 extra every time I flew into or out of Heathrow. While it might only cost $30 or $40 to take a taxi from LGA, that is still more an an order of magnitude more than public transportation. And given LGA isn't that much further from downtown that Logan is and if Ohare can have reasonable public transit, why can't the city with the biggest subway system in the US have reasonable public transportation from what should be its most convenient airport?
