National Express coaches arrive at and depart from the Central Bus Station, which can be reached from the terminal buildings with just a 5-minute walk using elevators, escalators, and moving walkways.
National Express coaches will pick you up and drop you off at stops 13 and 14 just outside the Terminal 4 building, and transfers to Terminal 5 and the Central Bus Station can be made via stop 7.
National Express Coaches to Terminal 5 will use stops 11-15 just outside the terminal building for pick up and drop off. Other National Express coaches can be caught from stops here, including destinations such as Oxford, Brighton and Reading.
National Express operates a free coach service between London Heathrow Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5. Terminals 2 and 3 are quite close to each other and you can walk between them, but Terminal 4 is a separate building as is the new terminal 5.
