London Heathrow Airport (LHR) is the UK’s busiest airport, sitting about 15 miles west of central London.
Four Active Terminals
Heathrow currently operates Terminals 2, 3, 4, and 5, all linked by free shuttle buses, after the airport’s original Terminal 1 was demolished.
The Heathrow Express Is the Fastest Way In
The Heathrow Express runs non-stop to London Paddington in as little as 15 minutes from Terminals 2 and 3, with an additional stop for Terminal 5, though the cheaper Elizabeth line and Piccadilly line Underground take longer.
Heathrow vs. London’s Other Airports
London is unusually served by multiple airports; Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, and City all handle scheduled flights too, so it is worth checking which one your route actually uses before booking ground transport.
