Local Buses At Heathrow

Including FREE Public Buses To Heathrow Hotels

Local Buses to Heathrow Hotels (Many Free)

A curious policy is being operated by the owner of Heathrow Airport - BAA. The official Heathrow Hoppa Bus charges a full price to transport you to each Heathrow hotel. At the same time BAA subsidises all public buses so that any journey from the terminals to anywhere on the perimeter roads is completely free.

In many cases these buses stop right outside the hotel entrance.

Buses are free as long as you get off/on the buses on the perimeter roads of the airport, (where many hotels are). All of these buses go onto local towns, the maximum fare is £2.40.

Many of the buses run a 24x7 schedule and all run from early morning until late evening.

Most of the buses are the famous London red buses like the one pictured above right. A few going south and west from the airport are run by different operators but still offer the free journeys around the airport perimeter. A mixture of double deck and single deck buses are run. Nearly all routes have several buses an hour, the major routes run about every 10 minutes during the day.

Where To Board The Bus At Heathrow

For Terminals 1 and 3 all the buses depart from the Central Bus Station. With luggage it will take about 10 minutes to complete the journey on foot. Much of the journey uses moving walkways and the entire journey is inside. The bus station is above the Underground station and the way is well signposted with ramps in each terminal and lifts up to the bus station. There are no steps involved.

At terminals 4 and 5 the buses are right outside the front doors of the arrivals hall and again are well signed.
