Heathrow is the UK's biggest airport. It is almost a self-contained city with a population of over 60,000 workers. It is hard to believe that this monstrous architectural and engineering feat started life as a small grass airfield, originally used for flying tests. Heathrow has developed into the major international airport it is today.
