Motorcycle parking Heathrow

[alpine-star]

Going out to the States soon and wanted to know if anyone has parked there bike at Heathrow for any lenth of time, is it safe? I know you can park in any car park accross the UK and have bits nicked from your bike so is any where safe?

Just wanted peoples thoughts on this really.

Cheers

T5 has a handy free bike park and I've left my lid and oversuit in the left luggage very nearby. No problems encountered.

Thanks for your reply :-)

A couple of years ago I left my bike there for a week while I went to the States. Parked just outside Departures. Mind you, the bike was an ageing K75 BM, so no-one was going to steal that.

There's also a popular Bike park on the side of teh Short stay at terminal 1, always seems full (although never used myself).

Looks like I'm taking the car now as I am flying out with family, so going to park the car at the Daughters boyfriends house and have a 5 minute taxi ride to the airport, thanks for the replies

Flying out of terminal 2, for the day. Will my bike go missing or is it okay? I presume there is bike parking outside.

Be fine. Left my bike at T5 and all my kit in an Aldi bag strapped on the back with no lock as i misjudged my storage and it was fine. Some very nice metal/plastic parked in the bike parks!

How is the bike parking at T5 accessed, please?

Head towards short stay car parking. Can't miss it.

I love people who do things like this:

Thanks! I have seen the parking from the walkway between the terminal and the Sofitel, but could not work out how to get in there. Useful video too...

Does anyone know the current status of Terminal 2 motorbike parking? Last time I went past (July-ish) they were building a hotel there.

Parking there tomorrow, hopefully. T1 a possibility but haven't tried there in ages, and don't know if it still exists.

Thanks in advance

No parking at terminal 2 directly.

Follow signs for terminal 1 parking and it's there outside under covers.

Then walk though the bus station to terminal 2.

It looks different as they're doing works, I was there 3 weeks ago.

Thanks Jimmy. That's where I park for T3, so know it well. Doesn't look too far away. Hope they're going to be replacing some of this parking when they're finished!

Hi guys,

Any up to date tips on parking a bike at Terminal 2?
I'm planning to drop the bike off at about 7am on Wednesday morning.

Many thanks!
