Short answer: Heathrow’s own page says multi-faith prayer rooms “are available in every terminal” and lists ten locations across Terminals 2, 3, 4 and 5, most of them after security near the gates. Wudu (ablution) facilities are listed for Terminals 3, 4 and 5, but not for Terminal 2. The page gives no opening hours. On October 24, 2026 we found no Heathrow or outlet page that calls a Heathrow restaurant halal, so halal food is marked Not checked yet below.

Halal food at Heathrow

| Any Heathrow outlet | T2–T5 | We found no Heathrow page or outlet page that says “halal” on October 24, 2026 | Not checked yet |
Search results for “halal food Heathrow” point to booking-platform listings for restaurants and hotels near the airport, not to terminal outlets, so we leave them out. If halal food matters for your trip, ask the outlet directly whether its meat is halal and certified, or pre-order a halal meal for the flight. See which airlines serve halal meals and our wider guide to halal food at airports.
Practical tips for praying at Heathrow
- Terminal 2 has two prayer rooms after security, but Heathrow lists no wudu facilities there. If you want to make wudu in a dedicated area, the listed wudu points are in Terminals 3, 4 and 5.
- In Terminal 5 the Check-in Zone A room is listed as temporary. Check the official page on your travel day, because temporary rooms can move.
- Heathrow does not publish prayer room hours on this page. If you plan to pray at a specific time, contact the chaplaincy at multifaith@heathrow.com before you fly.
- For prayer during the flight itself, see our tips on keeping your salah schedule on long flights.
