Heathrow has a number of great spots where you can see aircraft take off, land and taxi across the airport. Here are the best spots in each Terminal.
Enjoy runway views from the Wondertree restaurant in the departure lounge. It is a great place to relax while watching aircrafts take off and land.
Take in wide runway views from the No.1 Traveller Lounge (entry charges apply). You can also find good viewing opportunities from selected departure gates.
Visit the View Heathrow observation deck near Gates 15 and 16. The deck offers 270-degree views of the southern runway, along with binoculars and flight-tracking screens. Please note that this area is located after security and is only available to departing passengers.
You will find views of the airfield throughout the departure lounge. For some of the best spots, visit Gordon Ramsay Plane Food or Wagamama.
Non-passengers can use the free covered viewing stand at the Heathrow Academy on Newall Road (TW6 2RQ). The stand overlooks the northern runway. Parking charges apply.
