I will travel from Heathrow to central London, and was considering taking a taxi. My company will reimburse the taxi cost, however I need a receipt. Is it common to get a receipt after the taxi ride in London or should I explicitly ask the driver before the ride if he will be able to give one? I am not sure about this because in my country most drivers won't give you a receipt.

Official black cabs are heavily regulated (and famous for being wildly expensive). I can't imagine a driver of one of those would risk their license by refusing a receipt.

Try to ask for receipt on your country, and you probably get it. As in most (all?) countries you should ask for a receipt. It is not your company, but nearly all companies as similar requirements, so taxis areound the world are used to it (but maybe on very holiday destinations)

You will always be able to get a receipt. Drivers are used to people wanting to expense taxi rides, and will not be surprised by your request. Although there'd be no harm in asking up-front anyway.
It's usual to include the tip on the receipt itself - tell the driver to "make it up to (whatever the nearest £5 is)".
Note though that unless you're going at a very quiet time, a taxi to central London is unlikely to be quicker than taking the tube.

I was thinking of a taxi since it will be free anyways and it might be more comfortable than the tube. And I will land at noon on a weekend, so I guess there won't be much traffic.

There is always traffic in and around London but you are right that it is a quieter time than weekday peak hours.
