Heathrow Airport has issued an urgent travel warning to passengers, advising them to allow extra time for journeys after flooding blocked road access to Terminals 2 and 3.
Flooding causes road closures
The airport said the central terminal area was flooded, leading to ongoing road closures restricting access to Terminals 2 and 3. The disruption comes during the school summer holidays, when hundreds of thousands of passengers pass through the airport at peak times.
Alternative travel advice
A statement on the airport’s website said: "Flooding in the central terminal area has resulted in on-going road closures restricting access to Terminals 2 and 3. Passengers travelling to or from either of these terminals today must not travel by road."
Passengers are strongly advised to use Heathrow Express, Elizabeth Line and Piccadilly Line rail services where possible. Those who must travel by car are advised to use Park and Ride, head to Terminals 4 or 5 and take free rail services from there, or change at local rail stations.
Apology and ongoing efforts
The statement added: "Please allow extra time for your journeys. Our teams are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible, we apologise for any disruption caused."
