Newly Refurbished Heathrow Car Park

Filed Under Airport, News | Comments Off

BCP, the UK’s leading airport parking and travel booking service, has opened a brand new, purpose built, multi-storey car park at Heathrow. The new facility is part of an 11 million pound investment in UK airport car parks by BCP’s parent company, Q-Park.

Safety and security is always key for BCP when offering new products and the new Q-Park London Heathrow car park more than lives up to the high standards set, this is recognised by the ParkMark award. Security was a priority from the design stage, with a 10-stage security check procedure including 24-hour manning by trained and uniformed Q-Park hosts, the latest technology in vehicle scanning and CCTV monitoring and the first application of tracker key technology within an airport parking environment. This technology allows every detail of a vehicle’s on-site journey to be recorded, providing the customer with the ultimate piece of mind.

“Q-Park London Heathrow represents the most modern airport car parking system and service in the country,” says BCP Managing Director Stephen Moss. “We are very proud to be offering a brand new multi-storey car park at the world’s busiest international airport and are sure that customers will appreciate the extremely high standards of safety, security and overall customer service this facility offers.”

The new car park opened at the end of April and is ideally located just off the A4, only five minutes to the road tunnel that serves Terminals 1, 2 and 3. Frequent courtesy buses are provided to transport customers to the terminals.
