Bedfont sits on the southern boundary of Heathrow, between Hatton Cross and Stanwell. East Bedfont has a village green and the Norman church of St Mary's, while the surrounding streets are home to many people who work at the airport. For trips to Terminals 4 and 5, Bedfont is about as close as it gets.

Local roads around Bedfont
The Staines Road (A315) runs through Bedfont and links it with Hounslow to the east and Staines to the west. At peak times traffic backs up towards the Hatton Cross junction, where many airport workers join the Great South West Road. Drivers plan routes that avoid the worst of this, especially when you have a flight to catch.
Around East Bedfont's village green and the church, roads are quieter, but parking is limited. The driver will stop as close to your door as is safe and call you when they arrive.
Long-stay airport parking alternative
Many Bedfont residents choose a taxi to Terminal 4 or 5 instead of paying for airport parking for a week or two. For short trips, it can work out cheaper and saves waiting for a parking shuttle bus.
