Terminal 3 is located towards the centre of the airport, with Terminal 2 to the east and Terminal 5 to the west. Terminal 4 is found towards the south of the airport.

Terminals 2 and 3 are close to each other and are linked by a pedestrian passage you can walk on foot. It should take you around 10 minutes to walk between the terminals. You’ll also find Heathrow Central train station in walking distance from Terminals 2 and 3.

Terminals 4 and 5 are located further away from the more central hub of the airport. You’ll need to hop on a shuttle bus to get from Heathrow Central to Terminal 4, whilst Terminal 5 has its own train station.
