Airport: London-Heathrow (LHR)
Nursing Mother’s Room/Child care Rooms:
Locations: In Terminal 2 on Level 5 there are two designated rooms (one on each side of the food court), next to restrooms and water fountains. Also, getting off the plane on United, all of the bathrooms had a nursing mothers space, even before clearing customs which was incredible!
Access: Indicator on door shows if in use. If vacant, the door will be unlocked and open.
Set-up: They have a sink, chair, mirror, changing table and even paper covers for the changing table to keep it more sanitary. There are water refill stations outside these areas and regular restrooms nearby.
Kid’s Play Space:
Location: There are different play areas in terminals 2, 3, 4 & 5 with easy to locate maps online
Set-up: These spaces are amazing. The terminal 4 location takes you up an elevator to a dedicated room that is quiet and away from the chaos of the airport. It has an infant/toddler section, an older kids climbing and play area, a nursing space, chairs for tired parents and even a water fountain inside there. If you have a couple of hours, you can easily make the layover fly by. Additionally, by terminal 2 there is a great play space as you head to the gates from the main congregation area. The set-up is similar with an infant and big kid play side, just smaller than the other terminal.
