Heathrow Terminal 4 station serves Terminal 4 of Heathrow Airport, located to the south of the airport's main campus and accessed via a dedicated spur of the Piccadilly line. The station opened in 1986 alongside the terminal itself and is the only Heathrow Underground station that is not served by the Elizabeth line, which exclusively serves Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 and Terminal 5.
The station is situated directly beneath the terminal, offering seamless covered access to the check-in and arrivals halls. Terminal 4 primarily handles SkyTeam alliance airlines including Air France, KLM, Delta, and Korean Air, as well as a number of other international carriers. It is a quieter terminal than T2&3, with a more relaxed atmosphere.
Passengers requiring the Elizabeth line should travel to Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 station by tube, or use the free inter-terminal bus service. Allow adequate time if connecting between T4 and other terminals.
Heathrow Terminal 4 station is fully step-free from street level to all platforms. Lifts serve all levels and the station connects directly to the accessible Terminal 4 building.
