Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 tube station - 0343 222 1234

Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 is a London Underground station at Heathrow Airport on the Heathrow branch of the Piccadilly line, and currently serves Heathrow Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. The station was named Heathrow Terminals 1, 2 & 3 until January 2016, when the station was renamed to reflect the closure of Heathrow Terminal 1. The station is situated in Travelcard Zone 6.HistoryThe station opened as Heathrow Central on 16 December 1977 as the final phase of the Piccadilly line's extension from Hounslow West to the airport. The preceding station, Hatton Cross, had opened as the interim terminus in 1975. At its opening, the station served as the terminus of what became known as the Heathrow branch of the line — previously it had been the Hounslow branch. It was the first time that an airport had been directly served by an underground railway system.With the development of the airport's new Terminal 4 underway for which a separate Underground station would be provided, the station was initially renamed Heathrow Central Terminals 1, 2, 3 from 3 September 1983, then renamed Heathrow Terminals 1, 2 & 3 on 12 April 1986 - the same day that services commenced at the Heathrow Terminal 4 station.
