Moving between terminals

Terminals 2 and 3 share the central area and are a short walk apart. Free trains and the Elizabeth line link the central area with Terminals 4 and 5. Allow at least 30 minutes to change terminal.

Taxi drop-off and pickup

Each terminal has its own departures forecourt, covered by the £7 Terminal Drop-Off Charge. Private hire cars are not allowed to wait on the terminal forecourts, so your driver parks in the Terminal Parking car park, two minutes' walk away, and meets you at the arrivals meeting point with a name board.
