Terminal Parking, formerly Short Stay Parking, for Terminal 4 is the closest car park to the main terminal building, offering convenient and quick access to both the departures and arrivals areas.
As well as being well-suited to passengers looking for convenience, the Terminal 4 Terminal Parking car park is a great option for making any pick-ups or drop-offs.
Subject to availability, parking can be pre-booked up to two hours before your arrival using the widget at the top of the page. Booking in advance offers you access to our cheaper, online exclusive pricing.
The Terminal Parking car park is just a short distance from the arrivals and departures areas of Terminal 4.
Frequent security patrols, bright lighting and up-to-date technologies keep our passengers and their vehicles safe.
Keep your keys with you for extra peace of mind.
The Terminal Parking car park for Terminal 4 is directly opposite the main terminal building, linked by a covered walkway into the departures and arrivals areas.
Located on the airport’s Southern Perimeter Road, the car park is easily accessible from major road routes, including the M4 and M25.
From the M25, leave at Junction 14, following signs for Terminal 4 on the Southern Perimeter Road. Leave the Southern Perimeter Road at the Terminal 4 Roundabout, taking the first exit onto Stratford Road. Follow the ramp up in the right-hand lane, where the entrance to the car park will be right ahead of you.
For M4 users, take the Junction 4B exit, joining the M25, before leaving at Junction 14, following signs for Terminal 4, then follow the above instructions.
Please note, following the recent renaming of our Short Stay car parks to Terminal Parking, road signs around the airport and some in-terminal signage will still refer to Short Stay Parking while we work towards fully implementing this change.
Road signs around the airport displaying Short Stay Parking are still correct and should still be followed to reach the Terminal Parking car parks.
