Heathrow airport is owned and run by Heathrow Airport Limited, a subsidiary company of BAA plc, the world's largest privatized airports company.
Heathrow is the busiest international airport in the world, handling 58 million passengers on more than 420,000 flights a year, with over 95 airlines flying to more than 185 destinations worldwide.

Heathrow airport is situated 15 miles west of central London. It has four terminals and two main runways.

There are many ways of reaching Heathrow including a wide network of coach services and local buses, London Underground and the new Heathrow Express.

Heathrow's passenger terminals are grouped into two main areas. Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are in the Central Terminal Area; Terminal 4 is located on the southside of the airport. A frequent courtesy bus runs between each of the central area terminals and Terminal 4. Pedestrian subways link the three central terminals.

London Underground:

Heathrow is served by the Piccadilly Line of the London Underground. There is one station for Terminals 1, 2 and 3 which is accessed from the terminal buildings via the pedestrian subway system, and a separate one for Terminal 4 which is accessed directly from within the building.

An average journey to central London takes approximately 50-60 minutes. Trains run every five minutes at peak times and every nine minutes at off-peak times and at weekends. The first train to London leaves Heathrow Terminal 4 at 0508 (0558 on Sundays) and the last a 2349 (2257 on Sundays). The first train from central London arrives at Terminal 4 at 0600 (0747 Sundays) and the last at 0107 (0008 Sundays). It takes a further five minutes to reach the Terminals 1, 2 and 3 station. As these times are subject to change it is advisable to check with London Transport before travelling.

Tourists, travellers, if you have childs with you or if you want to be sure not missing a meeting because of daily dailays in the tube, you should take a cab.

Airbus To and from Heathrow:

Heathrow is served by Airbus Express and Airbus Direct, providing limited stop services via West End hotels into central London.

Taxi to Heathrow:

The famous London black cabs are licensed under, and regulated by the Metropolitan Public Carriage Act to operate within the Greater London Metropolitan Area. BAA Heathrow operates a computer system that controls the flow of cabs from a large holding area on the airport to the terminal forecourts to ensure that the supply of cabs meets customer demand.

Taxi ranks are located outside each terminal. Many taxis are accessible to wheelchairs; on arrival at the rank, contact the local traffic warden who will ensure that a suitable vehicle is available.

However, black cabs are often twice expensive as Airports-taxis' cabs.

There are taxi desks in each of the terminal arrivals halls.
