By London Underground & Elizabeth Line you will still need to tap in and tap out using an Oyster card or any Contactless Payment Card. If your travel is between terminals you will not be charged.
Or for Elizabeth Line or Heathrow Express you can get a Free inter terminal ticket from the ticket machines.
There is also a Free bus H30 between Terminals and Hatton Cross that runs approx every 20 minutes.
