Travelling to Heathrow over Christmas & New Year

On Christmas Day (Thursday 25 December) and Boxing Day (Friday 26 December), there will be no Heathrow Express or Elizabeth line services operating between Central London and Heathrow.

 

Heathrow Express trains will be running between all terminals, departing every 20 minutes.

 

Additionally, there will be no Piccadilly line services from London to Heathrow on Christmas Day, and a limited service will be running on Boxing Day.

 

Special timetables and Sunday services will be in operation across most public transport over the Christmas and New Year period. We recommend planning your journey and allowing for extra time where necessary.

Restoring peatland, carbon offset

As part of the Heathrow Centre of Excellence, one of the projects we're already working on is restoring peatlands in the UK.

As described in Heathrow’s Carbon Neutral Growth Roadmap, offsetting remains an important part of the action airports can take to address carbon emissions. ​

Heathrow is taking a leading role. It is using carbon offsetting as a way to invest in the restoration of fragile UK ecosystems – peatlands.

When restored to health, these landscapes can not only safely lock up vast quantities of carbon, but in doing so also deliver big benefits to nature and people, such as reducing the risk of flooding and fire, and returning habitats to their pristine, natural state, supporting many important and rare species.​

The first peatland restoration project went on site in the autumn of 2018 at Little Woolden Moss in Lancashire and further projects are planned, as we further develop our approach to offset to deliver multiple benefits to climate, people and nature.​
