Terminals 2 and 3 (Central Terminal Area) Travel Options
This pack includes information on available travel options to and from the Heathrow Terminals 2 and
3 (the Central Terminal Area), and around the Heathrow Campus.
If you’re new to Team Heathrow this is a unique opportunity for you to assess how you commute, and
to explore the many options available for getting to and from the airport. Even if you’ve been working
at the airport for a while, you may stumble across a cheap and convenient route to work you hadn’t
previously considered.
Cycling and Cycle Parking
Cycling is cheap, convenient and can offer a daily dose of exercise, which is often hard to squeeze
into a busy day. At Heathrow we are striving to make our campus, and the roads surrounding it, not
only safe but suited to cyclists. Once we conclude the remedial works to the northern tunnels to
allow cyclists through again this will give you direct access to Terminals 2 and 3. In the meantime,
you can lock your bike away safely at the Heathrow Cycle Hub on Newall Road, and then catch a free
bus to your final destination.
West Drayton and Hayes are both within a 25-minute cycle ride of Terminals 2 and 3 – why not try
cycling to work? Travel times for key locations are detailed below with cycle routes illustrated in
Figure 4.

Cycle parking is also provided at other locations at the airport such as the Heathrow Cycle Hub at the
Academy which has 174 spaces (on Newall Road). There are also 18 cycle parking spaces at N4. See a
map of our airport wide cycle parking in Figure 3.
Heathrow is committed to supporting colleagues cycling to work. We offer a wide range of benefits
which should make your cycle safe, affordable and convenient, including: multiple initiatives across
our campus in partnership with a great selection of organisations; we offer significant discounts on
cycling equipment, from bikes and helmets to cycling accessories; and we’re also committed to
evolving and improving our cycling infrastructure for the benefit of both cyclists and others who
occupy roads on our campus.
The Cycle Hub is your one-stop-shop for everything you need to start cycling to work – register to
take advantage of the wide range of benefits it offers. This includes cycle to work schemes (offered
by Team Heathrow companies), free bicycle servicing, discounts on purchases and repairs and free
cycle training.

Walking
Heathrow’s campus is a relatively flat and pedestrianised area. Why not walk to work? Figure 2
shows areas within a 30-minute walk of your nearest bus stop and make the most of the discounted
bus services or buses in the Free Travel Zone.
Public Transport
13 bus routes stop at Terminal 2/3, serving areas such as Slough, Greenford and Central London.
Why not check if you can catch the bus to work and be dropped right at the doorstep? The services
can be taken from bus stops located at the Central Bus Station. (See Figure 1).
