Commuting by bicycle

Cycling to Work

Are you thinking of doing more exercise? Then why not do it on your way to work? Commuting to work on a bike could help you keep fit, improve your health, save you money and help reduce CO2 emissions.

Heathrow can be reached via a network of cycle paths. If you want to ride into London you can plan a cycle route using the Transport for London journey planner.

Heathrow Cycle Hub

A new cycle centre for staff has opened at the airport and is the first of its kind anywhere in the UK. Located at The Academy on Newell Road, the Heathrow Cycle Hub offers all airport workers discount on all cycles and equipment. You can also get your cycle serviced or repaired at the centre with the labour free, plus 10% off all parts required during a service. The centre will also provide information and training to help cyclists get the most out of their bikes.

To take advantage of these sales and servicing offers you need to join the Heathrow Cycle Hub which is FREE. You will receive your membership pack which will get you started and let you know about all the services that the Heathrow Cycle Hub can offer.

Bicycle racks right next to work

Free cycle parking is available all around Heathrow. There are over 400 bicycle racks outside our buildings, meaning you can park your bicycle right next to work. Please note that for security reasons, bicycles will be removed if not parked in the designated areas.

Plan a journey

It's also possible to use the Grand Union Canal towpath for much of the ride to Paddington (which takes just over 90 minutes).
