We are flying to Heathrow Terminal 5 and are meeting my parents who are arriving 1-1/2 hours later in Terminal 5. We will then go to Terminal 4 for a flight to Paris. Can anyone recommend a meeting location in Terminal 5 before heading to Terminal 4? Can anyone recommend a meeting location in Terminal 4 prior to going to the boarding gate? We have about 3 hours between flights, and they weren't booked on the same ticket/reservation. Thank you for any help/advice you can provide.

I would study the airport maps, http://www.heathrowairport.com/heathrow-airport-guide/airport-maps , and then figure out a place to meet after security.

You need to plan to meet in T4. You go through a security check when connecting at Heathrow and you need to meet up after that.
There is a Pret a Manger in T4 (coffee, sandwiches, etc.) that has some seating for customers. That might be a good choice.

Both of these are good suggestions. Use the maps on their website to see where everything is.

Just in case either of you are delayed or rerouted through another airport to Paris, have a backup plan. Or at least a way to communicate any changes in flights with each other.

Costa Coffee for terminal 5. Perfect spot as it is right where passengers exit.
