Heathrow Airport gets ready for the 2012 London Olympics
There’s never enough time to do everything I want to do in London, but on my most recent visit I managed to squeeze in quite a lot in just three days. Activities were wedged in between a meal seasoned with performances by contortionists and flame-embellished dancers at a West End cabaret bar named Circus, Afternoon […]
Happy Thanksgiving! While you were fretting about getting a gut-busting meal on the table, the folks at Heathrow Airport were busy putting up the world’s largest sprig of mistletoe in Terminal 5. The super-sprig is ten feet by eight-feet, is suspended less than 10 feet from the floor, and “was created to enable the one […]
A rare working week in London is bracketed by two very different, but equally impressive at/in Heathrow Airport hotel stays. 6 AM arrival: after a long, sleepless flight from the US west coast beside a fidgety, too-tall seatmate, I can’t face heading to town and trying to stay awake until hotel check-in time.

In an effort to thwart plans for a 3rd runway at London’s Heathrow Airport, Greenpeace, other environmental activists and a few celebrities, including Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson, have bought up a piece of land “slap bang” in the middle of the proposed project site. Opponents of the 3rd runway project are worried about greenhouse gases, […]
When you’re stuck at the airport, wouldn’t it be great if there was a place where you could take a shower and a nap or just close the door and watch a movie or get some work done? In some airports there are. A great example is the YOTEL, the short-stay hotel located inside the […]
I doubt it. But we do know that she popped over to Heathrow Airport at least twice. Back in 1955, Queen Elizabeth II was on hand to open Heathrow Airport’s first terminal building – which is now Terminal 2. She was back on site again today for the opening of Terminal 5. According to the […]
