Heathrow Terminal 5

London Heathrow Terminal 5 is an airport terminal at London Heathrow Airport, serving the British capital city of London. After opening in 2008, the main building in the complex became the largest free-standing structure in the United Kingdom. Terminal 5 is currently used as a global hub exclusively by British Airways. The terminal is designed to ultimately handle 35 million passengers a year.

 

The building's lead architect were from the Richard Rogers Partnership and production design was completed by aviation architects Pascall + Watson. The building cost £4 billion and took nineteen years until completion, from the initial design through to opening, following the longest planning inquiry in British history.
