Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I need some advise from London folks. I will be flying through London Heatrow to D.C this coming Saturday but I am going to have a 6-hours long connecting time there to kill.
Could anyone tell what can I do on Heathrow for that amount of time besides eating and shopping? Is there anything that I could visit nearby?
See you all soon!

I believe there may be a fair few Uk Wikipedians in the office on that day!

Windsor Castle & Eton are the nearest tourist attraction. You can get there by local bus:

from terminal 5.
Even just a round trip by local bus might be interesting. An occasion to see some English countryside.
But bear in mind that Heathrow has very slow check-in system - You need to have at least 1.5 hr for it.
6 hours isn't very long. If you want to leave the airport, you'll spend half that time going through immigration and security. That doesn't leave long to do anything and you would be risking missing your next flight. I suggest you just eat and shop...

I've been doing that for 3 years - visiting Cambridge University academics and taking pictures of them!
