London Heathrow International Airport (London Heathrow International Airport). Three-word code (IATA): LHR; ICAO): EGLL, commonly known as Heathrow Airport, is located in Hillington, Greater London, England, 24 kilometers (15 miles) from central London.
Airport location
London Heathrow International Airport is located 22 kilometers west of central London, at the southern end of Hillington District. When the airport is located in Henry V, it is called "Heckleow", when it is located in henry vii, it is called "Heckleow" on the map of 1675, and the map of 1754 is marked as "Heath Row" with the same pronunciation as today, which is part of the circular green belt in London. The runway of the airport is east-west, causing flights to fly over the city. On the other hand, other European airports, such as Madrid, Paris or Frankfurt, are located at the southern or northern end of the city to reduce the problems caused by flights flying over the city. Another problem of the airport is the low altitude of 25 meters, which is easy to encounter heavy fog and cause flights to be grounded.

Heathrow International Airport originally had six runways, divided into three different angles, and the terminal building was located in its center. With the increase of runway length, Heathrow Airport currently has two east-west parallel runways. The shorter runway 23 was originally used to cope with the strong southwest wind, but it was downgraded to a taxiway in 2005.
