Cranfield Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 There are Services at Junction 4 of the M4, I believe they are referred to as the Heathrow Services. As they are at a Junction, I assume that means there is only one Service area , accessed from either direction , is that correct ? I have to meet someone, either in London, or at a Service Area on the M4. I don't particularly want to drive into Central London and see the M4 option being the best, unfortunately I don't know the Service Area's very well. Junction 6 Slough is another option, but I will be coming from the East and they will be coming from the West, once again the map I have, does not make it clear if you can access the Services from both directions. Any M4 experts out there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Thanks Chaps, its cruel to confuse an Idiot. According to this http://www.5minutesaway.co.uk/motorway/map...Junction2-3Â M4 Heston Services are Junction 2-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 That's right Cranners, Junction 4 is the spur that runs into Heathrow itself. Heston is the next junction in towards london. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks for the clarification Martin. I am reasonably familiar with the Heathrow Airport junction and couldn't remember seeing a Services anywhere near that. As I have never visited Heston Services, does anyone know if it is right on the M4, like at the end of a slip road, or do you have to drive half a mile away to find it ? Is it accessible both from the West and the East ? The person I have to meet will not be familiar with the area either and I am trying to pick a place that will make things easy for both of us.
