Terminal 3 of London Heathrow Airport was opened in November 1961 as the Oceanic Terminal and was given its current name in 1968. It was expanded in 1970 with the addition of a new arrivals building. Pier 6 was added in 2006. Terminal 3 has a floor area of 98,962 sq m (1,065,218 sq ft). Redevelopment of the terminal's forecourt was completed in 2007, involving the addition of a drop off area, a large pedestrianised plaza, and a canopy to the front of the terminal. At the same time several piers were rebuilt to suit the double deck Airbus A380.

    Now there is talk of moving the whole airport to a artificial island off Sheppey in Kent. (Believe it when I see it).
