Picking someone up at Heathrow Terminal 2?
Here’s your complete 2025 guide to the correct pick-up points, parking charges, meeting areas, and top tips for a smooth, stress-free collection — updated by Bluepick Airport Transfers.
🅿️ Where to Pick Up Arrivals at Heathrow Terminal 2
Drivers cannot stop or wait directly outside the Terminal 2 Arrivals area — this forecourt is for drop-offs only and is camera-enforced with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR).
The correct areas for pickups are:
✅ Option 1: Terminal Parking (Short Stay Car Park)
- Located right next to Terminal 2 – just a 2–3 minute covered walk to the Arrivals Hall.
- Follow the blue signs for “Terminal Parking – Terminal 2”.
- Pay on exit or pre-book online for convenience.
✅ Option 2: Park & Ride (Long Stay Car Park)
- Free for the first 29 minutes.
- Regular shuttle buses run every 10–15 minutes to Terminal 2.
- Ideal if you’re early or waiting for a delayed flight.
💡 Tip: Never stop on approach roads — even briefly — as this can trigger an automatic fine.
📍 Meeting Points Inside Terminal 2 Arrivals
Passengers arriving at Terminal 2 can meet drivers or family at these official meeting points:
- Main Meeting Point – Opposite the International Arrivals Exit.
- Next to Costa Coffee and Information Desk.
If you’re using Bluepick’s Heathrow Transfer Service, our driver will wait here with your nameboard — tracking your flight in real time and offering a 60-minute free wait period.
