The two most popular ways to park at LHR. Meet & Greet saves you time; Park & Ride saves you money. Here is how they compare on today's live prices.
London Heathrow has 4 terminals. Confirm yours before you book, then pick the operator with the shortest transfer to it.
Airlines: Most Star Alliance carriers — United, Lufthansa, Air Canada, Singapore Airlines.
T2 and T3 share the central area. Operators north of the airport (Stanwell, Bedfont) give the shortest transfers, and the T2 multi-storey has the most reliable EV rapid-charging.
Airlines: Most Oneworld carriers — American, Cathay Pacific, Qantas — plus Virgin Atlantic and Delta.
Sits alongside T2 in the central area. Central-area short-stay and Bath Road meet-and-greet operators are closest for a short walk or hop.
The UK's largest airport and one of the busiest in Europe.
At London Heathrow today, Meet & Greet starts about £3.81/day more than Park & Ride, in exchange for skipping the shuttle at both ends.
Airlines: Mainly SkyTeam — Air France, KLM, Korean Air — plus Qatar Airways and others.
T4 is on the south side. South-side compounds around Hatton Cross and Stanwell Moor keep the transfer short.
Airlines: British Airways and Iberia.
T5 is on the west side. Operators in Stanwell and Bedfont to the north are quickest, and the T5 multi-storey has strong EV charging coverage.
Heathrow is the UK's flagship international hub and the country's primary gateway for long-haul travel. Originally a small civilian airfield in the late 1940s, it has grown into one of Europe's largest airports, handling around 84 million passengers a year (2024) across four operational terminals.
Today's passenger operation runs out of Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5, the older Terminal 1 closed in 2015 and has since been redeveloped. Terminal 5 is the dedicated home of British Airways (and Iberia), while Terminal 2 (the Queen's Terminal) handles most Star Alliance carriers. Terminals 3 and 4 split duties between Oneworld, SkyTeam and a long list of unaffiliated international airlines.
Heathrow sits on a tightly packed site bordered by the M25, M4 and the Bath Road, which means parking, both on-airport and independent, is unusually competitive. The supply density is the highest of any UK airport, with multi-storeys steps from each terminal, official long-stay sites a short transit away, and a wide outer ring of independent meet-and-greet and park-and-ride operators.
All the practical access info, by car, train, coach and otherwise.
Heathrow is signposted from the M25 (junctions 14 and 15) and the M4 (junction 4 / 4b). Allow extra time at peak, the Heathrow approach roads are some of the busiest stretches of road in the UK.
The Heathrow Express runs to London Paddington in 15 minutes from T2/T3 (around 21 minutes from T5). The Elizabeth Line links the airport with central London and beyond, taking around 35 minutes to Paddington and continuing east to Canary Wharf and Abbey Wood.
National Express runs frequent coaches from across the UK to the Central Bus Station between T2 and T3. Local TfL bus services connect with Hatton Cross, Hayes and Hounslow.
The Piccadilly line is the cheapest route from central London, about 50-60 minutes from King's Cross, with stops at all four terminals.
Heathrow parking falls into three groups. Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL) operates the official short-stay multi-storeys attached directly to each terminal, these are designed for drop-offs, pick-ups and short business trips, and pricing reflects that. HAL also runs official long-stay car parks 5-10 minutes by transit/shuttle from each terminal, these are the entry-level option for stays of three days or more.
Beyond the official sites, an extensive outer ring of independent operators runs park-and-ride compounds and meet-and-greet services in Hatton Cross, Bedfont, Stanwell, Colnbrook and the Bath Road corridor. Direct independent rates are typically 30-55% cheaper than the equivalent on-airport long-stay, especially when you book at least 14 days ahead.
The questions our 24/7 team gets asked most about flying from London Heathrow.
8 days costs from £55.48 (about £6.93 a day) at London Heathrow right now, based on live prices from 28 car parks we compare. The cheapest option today is Heathrow Elite Parking, Park & Ride (park and ride). Prices move with demand and rise sharply in the last fortnight before travel, so booking early is what actually saves money here.
Today the cheapest is Heathrow Elite Parking, Park & Ride at £55.48 for 8 days, about £6.93 a day. There is no single car park that is always cheapest at London Heathrow, because operators reprice constantly, so the honest answer is to compare the live table above for your own dates rather than trusting a fixed list.
Three hours for long-haul flights, two hours for short-haul. Add 30 minutes if you're parking in a long-stay or independent lot, shuttle times to the terminal can vary.
T2 hosts most Star Alliance carriers (United, Lufthansa, Air Canada, Singapore, etc). T3 hosts most Oneworld (American, Cathay, Qantas) plus Virgin Atlantic and Delta. T4 is mainly SkyTeam (Air France, KLM, Korean) plus Qatar Airways and several other international carriers. T5 is British Airways and Iberia.
It's the fastest option (15 minutes to Paddington), but expensive. The Elizabeth Line costs a fraction and adds only 15-20 minutes.
Yes, both official long-stay and independent operators take bookings of up to 12 months. Independents are usually cheapest beyond 7 days.
For 1-2 days, a taxi often wins on cost. From day 3 onwards, off-airport parking comfortably undercuts a return taxi from anywhere outside Greater London.
Independent operators run continuously every 5-15 minutes during the day, dropping at and collecting from designated stops at each terminal. Operators publish typical wait times on each listing.
Off-airport secure compounds with regular shuttle to the terminal.
Hand keys at the terminal, your car parked in a secure compound.
