But there is a way around it if you have slightly more time on your hands. Here's all you need to know. From 1 November, drivers entering the passenger drop-off areas at Heathrow will be required to pay £5, even if they only briefly enter the designated areas. Heathrow is the last major airport in the UK to introduce such a charge, which the airport says is part of a long-term sustainability strategy. The drop-off areas are located just outside the terminal and allow drivers to set down passengers about fly. Drivers entering the zones must now pay the £5 charge on the day or by 11.59pm the following day, otherwise they will be liable for an £80 fine. Drivers can also pay in advance.
