Security at Terminal 2 car parks
Heathrow describes patrols, automated barriers and bright lighting.
Heathrow describes round-the-clock patrols, automated barriers and bright lighting across its own car parks. We have not found a Park Mark statement for Heathrow's own car parks, so we do not claim one. The off-airport operators describe their own security, and we report what each says rather than claiming an award on their behalf. We set out prices and transfer details on our Heathrow short stay parking page.
