Mini guide to Heathrow Airport
One of the busiest airports in the world, certainly a hub for Europe, Heathrow has four terminals and is always busy. The airport boasts good duty free shopping and is well equipped with facilities for all travel needs.
Terminal 1 handles all domestic flights, terminal 2 is mainly for flights to European destinations, while the majority of long haul flights depart from terminal 3 and 4.
Heathrow is huge and boasts convenience food to suit most tastes. Likewise, the UK’s best known convenience outlets are also represented. Left Luggage is well organised, and services such as banks, post office and freight services are conveniently offered.
Extensive duty free shopping is available only if you are leaving Europe (boarding card must be presented), as well as endless souvenir shops.
Heathrow offers four main types of parking on and around the airport grounds. These are, short-stay ( up to 5 hours), long-stay (eastern perimeter – with shuttle bus), business parking and valet parking (booking essential: (01883) 340089).
London black cabs are available from outside each of the four terminals.
