Arriving Heathrow where to meet (FOLLOW-UP: Success!)

From LHR website:

Another AI source suggested at the Piccadilly Tube stop which is convenient to both Terminal 2 & 3. Easy to follow signs from either terminal. Big open area with clear sight lines as I recall. I don’t think there is seating, open to correction.

Hilton Garden Inn lobby? Between T 2 and 3, again follow signs. That wouldn’t be my first choice unless there was a long delay. I don’t remember seating arrangements, but there is a restaurant- check hours.

I haven’t “met up” myself at LHR, but go through a couple times a year. Last month was last time - going off memory for suggestions above. I have “met up” at the booked hotel with family members. We made our own way into London separately from LHR.

Where are you travelling to from Heathrow? There’s no point in arranging to meet at the tube station unless you plan to take the tube, for example.

Note the Hilton Garden Inn is at T2. Its entrance is sort of tucked away in the parking garage. No seating at the entrance to the underground station. I’ll try to think of a good place to meet at T3.

ORDtraveler: Thank you. I did see the meeting points on the website, but wasn’t sure if there was an advantage to one over the other. Or how easy they are to find. (I’ve flown to and through LHR, but never had to meet anyone there).

They won’t be going to London (I should have specified that in my question) - they’re heading to Oxford. (I’ll edit my question to include that).

Hilton Garden Inn lobby sounds like it might be good if there is a long delay. Thank you!

Johnew52: Thank you - They will be going from Heathrow to Oxford, and they have that part figured out, as they’ve done that before. (I should have included that in my question - I’ll edit and add that). Only thing they haven’t done before is meet up after separate flights.

Rocket - Thank you.

How are they getting to Oxford? If they are taking the bus then meeting at the bus station would be the obvious place as it’s between T2 and T3.

Thank you, Johnew52. Yes, they’re taking the bus, so that sounds like a good plan. And since the station is between T2 and T3 that makes sense. Thank you!

Thank you all for your quick replies. I appreciate it!

EDIT to follow up: The two travelers met up easily at the bus station between T2 and T3 and are now in Oxford. They send their thanks to the forum folks who helped them plan a stress free meet-up!

Thanks for the update! Glad to hear of a successful outcome!!
