Terminals 2 to 5

Heathrow has four passenger terminals. Each guide lists the shops, cafés, restaurants, bars, lounges and services we have confirmed there, split into landside (before security) and airside (after security), with visitors’ friendliness ratings.

Terminal 2

Terminal 2 — which Heathrow also calls the Queen’s Terminal — is in the centre of the airport, beside Terminal 3. The two share Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 station and the Central Bus Station.

Terminal 3

Terminal 3 is in the centre of the airport, next to Terminal 2. Heathrow says it opened in 1961 and was the first terminal in the UK with moving walkways.

Terminal 4

Terminal 4 is on the south side of the airport, across the southern runway from the other terminals. Heathrow says the Terminal 4 multi-storey car park closed on 23 June 2026 for redevelopment, with passenger parking moved to Zone A of Park & Ride (checked 4 October 2026).

Terminal 5

Terminal 5 is at the western end of the airport. Heathrow describes it as the UK’s largest free-standing building.

Heathrow sometimes moves airlines between terminals — always check which terminal your flight uses with your airline or Heathrow’s terminal finder.
