Heathrow Airport warns that flooding is disrupting access to Terminals 2 and 3, with restrictions on road travel. The airport says flooding in the central terminal area leads to ongoing road closures, preventing passengers from using roads to reach those terminals.
Across outlets, the response is similar: passengers are urged not to travel by road to Terminals 2 and 3 and to allow extra time. Several reports cite Heathrow’s guidance to use rail alternatives, including Heathrow Express, the Elizabeth Line, and the Piccadilly Line. Where car travel is unavoidable, passengers are told to use park-and-ride options at Terminals 4 and 5 and then use free rail services, or to change at local rail stations.
Some reports emphasize the “don’t drive by road” message to passengers, while others focus more directly on the location of the flooding and the resulting access restrictions. All agree that the disruption affects specific terminals and is happening during peak summer-holiday travel.
