Heathrow Airport Parking Shop
Good shots of take off from 27L can be had from the grounds of the Heathrow Airport Parking Shop. There is a grass verge near the entrance and staff don't mind enthusiasts parking there. As with other 27L spots a large lens is required to get the best out of this viewing spot.
An A340-300 will require a slight crop in order to be full frame with a 400mm lens on a digital body (ie 680mm). Anything smaller is not worth bothering about. The spot is pretty good throughout the day although you will suffer heat haze on a hot day.
Latitude: N51° 27' 9" (N51° 27.158')
