Driver and group collection information

For charter coach collections at Heathrow, operators may need to pre-book a forecourt permit and report first to the West Ramp Coach Park (WRCP), depending on the collection time and airport procedures. Heathrow’s operational process includes permit booking, managed dispatch to the terminal forecourt and time limits for loading on stand.

Terminal collection points are currently:
Terminal 2: Arrivals forecourt, lane 3, bus stops 13–14
Terminal 3: Arrivals forecourt, bus stops 9–10
Terminal 4: Arrivals forecourt, lane 1, bus stop 2
Terminal 5: Arrivals forecourt, lane 1, bus stops 16–16B

Out-of-hours procedures and Terminal 5 peak-season arrangements may differ, so drivers and group leaders should always check the latest Heathrow coach collection guidance before travel. Big Ben Coaches can also help coordinate timings so group collection runs as smoothly as possible.

London Heathrow in Kensington London

Located in West London, it combines historic residences, major museums, high-end shopping streets and refined public spaces, making it a popular destination for school groups, cultural tours, corporate journeys and private travel.

The history of Kensington is closely tied to the British monarchy and to London’s growth as a centre of culture and public life. Kensington Palace has long been associated with royal life, while the surrounding district developed into an area of grand terraces, garden squares and important institutions. This heritage continues to give Kensington its long-standing reputation for elegance, influence and historic importance.

Kensington is also one of London’s leading cultural districts, with major attractions, museums and public spaces drawing visitors throughout the year. The area is especially well suited to educational visits, exhibitions, concerts, sightseeing itineraries and premium London experiences.
