Traffic in Hillingdon right now

Hillingdon is London's second-largest borough and contains Heathrow Airport within its boundaries. The M40 motorway starts at Denham in the north. The M25 forms part of the western boundary. The A40 runs across the middle. The Heathrow Airport tunnel and terminal approaches generate significant traffic throughout the day and night. The A312 and A408 are key routes to and from the terminals.

The live camera feeds above are pulled directly from TfL's JamCam network and update automatically — each camera refreshes every 5 minutes during operational hours. The reel at the top cycles through available feeds from across the borough so you can get a quick read on conditions without clicking through individually. Click on any camera in the reel or grid to open the full feed view.

When is traffic busiest in Hillingdon?

Peak hours: Heathrow-related traffic runs 24 hours but peaks 5–9am and 3–7pm. The M4/M25 interchange (J15) and A3044/Bath Road are particularly congested. M40 congestion from Junction 1 is a daily occurrence.

Like most London boroughs, Hillingdon follows a broadly predictable weekly pattern. School holidays — particularly the summer break — can noticeably reduce peak congestion on residential and school-route roads, though leisure traffic on major arterials can partially offset this at weekends. Bank holidays are generally lighter, though leisure destinations may see higher-than-usual traffic.

The main roads to watch are the A40, A312, M40, M25 — these carry the bulk of through and commuter traffic and are the most likely to experience delays during peak periods.

How to use the live cameras

Each camera in the grid above links through to its individual feed page where you can see a larger view and read the camera's precise location. The reel at the top cycles automatically — use the previous/next buttons to jump through feeds manually, or click anywhere on the reel image to open that camera's dedicated page. The pause button holds the reel on the current camera.

Camera feeds come directly from TfL's JamCam network. Not all cameras broadcast video — some provide still images updated every few minutes. The reel prioritises video feeds where available and falls back to still images automatically. If a camera shows no image, it may be temporarily offline or undergoing maintenance.
