form a new single
building called Heathrow East. Project to complete stage 1 by 2019.
Built in 1968 at its time of closure Terminal 1 served all domestic and Ireland flights within the UK.
The terminal also served the majority of flights to European destinations where the carrier
was a UK airline and selected Intercontinental flights. Some European British airways flights also
went from terminal 4.
Details below is the last information from when the terminal was open pre
2015. It is for historical interest only.
The check-in area is on the first floor with the taxi/car drop-off area on the same level adjacent to the terminal. You cannot park your vehicle at the drop-of point, only let out passengers.
The ground level drop-off and pickup points are for coaches and buses
only.
There are 2 fixed computer internet access console locations airside of terminal 1.
Next to Costa in UK and Ireland departures and near the passenger transfer area in international departures. This is in addition to the WI-Fi access that is available throughout all terminals provided by multiple
suppliers.
There are several baby changing facilities both landside and also
airside in terminal 1. Also you will find play areas provided for small
children including one airside by Gates 35-56 (international

6 years old, they include Fingaboxes (interactive and educational games

The terminal information desks are open 06:00-23:00. There is also a
separate dedicated bus and coach information desk and another in a

There are a large selection of beauty shops, fashion shops, bars and
food outlets both landside and airside of all terminals. These include
well known names such as Costa, Boots, W H Smiths and burger King.
If you need to connect with the Heathrow Express or TFL Rail service

The bus and coach stands are split over two sides of terminal 1. Stands
1-7 are on the main entrance side opposite the short term car park on
the ground floor arrivals level. Stands 8-12 are on the far side of the
building. These stands are entirely under cover which is helpful in
adverse weather. From the ground floor arrivals area just follow the
appropriate signs. The entrance is in the corner by the lifts and
includes a comfortable sitting area, though you cant use this if you are
waiting on a stand (or you will miss the coach!).
