Background information

Founded as a small grass airfield in 1929 under the name London Airport, Heathrow assumed its current name after the Ministry of Civil Aviation took over in 1946. Three runways had been completed by the following year and traffic boomed quickly after. Today, London Heathrow has excellent road links to London and most other parts of the country and a car hire Heathrow is one of the best places in the country from which to strike out.

Within Heathrow you can find a wide variety of shops at every terminal, from designer brands to familiar high-street stores, and plenty of duty-free items such as tobacco, aftershave and alcohol. Heathrow’s array of lounges is extensive and available regardless of whether you’re travelling in first class or economy, and can be a welcome break away from the hive of activity that overwhelms Heathrow on a daily basis. Complementary shopping consultants can even be found in Heathrow’s lounges to offer advice – just look for their green uniforms.
