Public showers in Heathrow T1 and T3 -- experiences?
I've been reading in various other postings that there are public
showers available at Heathrow Airport. (The most recent one appears to be in alt.travel.uk.air in March 2002). It seems that showers are free, but I can get a towel at the Information Centre for a pound or two. Could someone with recent experiences please refresh us. (There was some discussion about construction going on). (1) Are public showers still available in T1 and T3? (2) Are the facilities better in T3 than T1? (I assume that I'll have to clear immigration first, and then enter the T3 airside mall). (3) Is there a way to store or hang hand luggage so it doesn't get wet while I take the shower (and don't have to worry about things getting stolen?) I'm going to flying from Canada arriving in Heathrow Terminal 3, and transferring over to Heathrow Terminal 1, with a four hour connection. I'm pretty sure that I have enough time to get a shower, if I don't make mistakes along the way. |

Public showers in Heathrow T1 and T3 -- experiences?
I received a confirmation (from a party who I assume likes to remain
anonymous) that the T3 showers still existed, when he used them in September 2003. He described them as adequate. He also said: There's plenty of room to keep your dry things dry. You enter a slightly enlarged public toilet and lock the door behind you. The only real problem I faced using the facility was the total and utter lack of anyone to rent me a towel (the advertised rate was 1.5 pounds), and the total and utter lack of anyone else in the airport to care about such. I ended up purchasing a small bar towel for 5 pounds at one of the souvenier shops which proved to be just barely adequate. Now, I do not travel without it! Be sure to bring some flip-flops to wear in the shower. I guess that I'll be packing my own towel! I'll take an old one, so I don't have to carry a wet one around. Does anyone have any information on the showers in T1? [I'm now less than 12 hours from leaving for the airport!] |
