There are four types of parking at London Heathrow - Short Stay, Long Stay, Business and Valet parking.
 | Short Stay |
Each terminal has its own short stay car park, they are a convenient option but expensive.
Terminal 1
There are separate multi-level Short Stay car parks for Departures and Arrivals at Terminal 1. The car parks are through the main airport access tunnel and on the left as you arrive in the airport complex.
Departures - Car Park 1A
The ramped access road takes you up to the Departures level. Access to the car park entrance is round to the left through the extended drop off area. The car park is linked to the terminal by a covered footbridge, but is some way from the building itself.
Arrivals - Car Park 1
The Arrivals car park is smaller than the newer Departures car park, but is considerably closer to the terminal building. It has no direct link to the terminal but relatively easy access at the Arrivals level.
If you are parking for more than 5 hours use the Business or Long Stay car parks, charges work out cheaper.
Terminal 2
Short Stay Car Park 2 entrance is just past the Terminal 2 building and is on the right hand side, follow the signs.
Terminal 3
The separate Arrivals and Departures buildings at Terminal 3 share Short Stay Car Park 3 which is on the right hand side immediately before you reach the terminal. Covered walkways link the car park with both Departures and Arrivals buildings.
Terminal 4
Car Park 4 is directly in front of the terminal building and is perhaps the most convenient of all the Short Stay car parks. Signs to the car park are easy to follow.
- There are toilets on Level 4 (Departures level) of the car park.
The Business car parks for Terminals 1, 2 & 3 are on the Northern Perimeter Road. Follow the signs for Business Parking as you approach the airport.
For Terminal 1 Park 1 offers the quickest direct transfer service to T1 (please note it doesn't serve the other terminals). Buses run every five minutes.
Business Parking for Terminals 1, 2 & 3 provide free regular transfer buses to all three terminals.
- Transfer time to Terminals 1, 2 & 3 is approximately 10-15 minutes but can take longer at busy times.
Terminal 4 has its own Business car park on the Southern Perimeter Road. Follow the Business Parking signs as you approach Terminal 4.
The Long Stay / holiday car park is on the Eastern Perimeter road and serves all four terminals. There is a free bus service to all terminals which operates between 05:30 and 23:30. Transport by telephone request outside these hours.
Allow 30 minutes transfer time to terminals at peak periods.
NCP also operates a long term car park - the NCP Excelsior. Located just off the Heathrow spur road, follow signs to the Excelsior Hotel.
