About Purple Parking Park & Ride
Purple Parking runs a park and ride on Bath Road, on the northern edge of Heathrow, for Terminals 2 and 3. You leave your car and keys with the staff and take a free bus, about 10 to 12 minutes, to the terminal.
Purple Parking's Heathrow site is at 17 Bath Road, Hounslow, TW6 2AL. You drive in, hand your keys to the staff and take the free bus to Terminals 2 and 3. The operator puts the transfer at about 10 to 12 minutes.
Purple describes a Park Mark Safer Parking Award, barrier entry, CCTV and perimeter fencing. Cars staying more than 16 days may be moved to another secure site. The height limit is 2.15m.
The operator says the site has no accessible facilities, so passengers with reduced mobility may be better served by a meet and greet product or the official car parks. This product serves Terminals 2 and 3 only.
