Review of: Heathrow Airport, London

2/5 (minimum 1)

by tom on 22 Nov 2007

It may claim to be the world's busiest international airport, but it's certainly not one of the most pleasant. The airside areas generally aren't too bad, but apart from at Terminal 4 the Departures and Arrivals areas can be pretty grim. Worst of all in my opinion are the underground walkways linking the terminals to each other and to shared facilities such as the Central Bus Station. This seems to have had some form of refurbishment in recent years, but the new structure has all the ambience and comfort of a cow shed. It's hard to justify the new terminal buildings (let alone a new runway) given air travel's contribution to climate change, but if they go ahead let's at least hope they improve the travelling experience.
