Planes over Heathrow

[badhorsey]

Hi all,

I'd like to take some photos of planes taking off at Heathrow - the sort that you tend to see in the papers where you have a 747 thundering over the tops of houses. Can anyone advise a good spot to do this?

Some of the best plane-spotting locations are mentioned in the posts here:

However, be prepared to be considered a security risk:

Get a tube to Hatton Cross on the picaddilly line. You can see them come pretty much overhead if they are taking off the rght direction.

There is a special 'plane spotters' section at T1 (Queens). You need an appointment to use it. The area is open & covered and perfect for photography.

Sorry, you want houses as well. Try Hounslow.
