And the rail and road links from the terminal are great, so you can easily hop across to London for the day if you have time to kill.

Exploring Terminal 5

If you’re looking for ways to spend a little extra time while you’re there, we’d definitely recommend checking out the art gallery. Set in the terminal itself, this gorgeous space is a whole world apart from the bustle of the airport itself, showcasing sculptures and art works, and complete with leafy, outdoor spaces.

There are other ways to unwind there too. You can pop across to Be Relax Spa for a massage or a beauty treatment, or browse through the terminals designer stores like Alexander McQueen and Burberry.

For those looking to escape the airport completely, you can nip across to London, perhaps take in the sights from the London Eye, or get a London Pass and discover some of the city’s best hotspots, galleries and museums. Or, for something slightly different, get over to Thorpe Park for a really fun day out.

Restaurants and hotels

To get the best views over the runway, it’s worth heading down to Gordon Ramsay’s restaurant, Plane Food. That way you can combine an indulgent meal out with a sight to remember. Other classy places include Fortnum & Mason The Bar, the perfect place for an aperitif, and Caviar House & Prunier Seafood Bar. But if you’re looking for a snack and a coffee in a relaxed setting, go to one of the terminal’s cafés like Costa Coffee or Café Nero. There’s lots of choice for Heathrow Terminal 5 Hotels too, so you’ll be able to find the right place for you. More luxurious retreats include Sofitel London Heathrow and The Hilton Heathrow, both 4-star hotels at the terminal. And the Premier Inn, Hilton Garden Inn and Comfort Hotel are all comfortable and more affordable 3-star hotels nearby.
