Heathrow has warned of disruption in Terminals 2 and 3 as a result of flooding in its terminal area.

Passengers travelling to or from those terminals have been urged not to travel by road, where flooding has resulted in ongoing road closures, the airport said.

Instead, passengers have been advised to take the tube or train services to the airport.

Those who need to take the car to the airport are requested to park at Terminals 4 or 5 and take a rail service to their correct terminal.

Heathrow said travellers should take the “Heathrow Express, Elizabeth Line and Piccadilly Line rail services where possible”.

It added: “Any passengers that must travel by car must use Park and Ride, head to Terminals 4 or 5 and take free rail services from there, or change at local rail stations. Please allow extra time for your journey.

“Our teams are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible, we apologise for any disruption caused.”
