True north up. The runway numbers are magnetic.

2 runways at EGLL, both parallel, 0.76 NM apart, drawn to scale with true north at the top. The longest is 09L/27R at 12,799 ft / 3,901 m. Separations and angles are measured from the threshold coordinates. Grid squares are 0.5 NM. Wind from 270 degrees at 1 kt, shown by the windsock in the top left corner.

The wind favours runway 27R: 1 kt of headwind and 0 kt across it. That is the wind's answer rather than a record of what is in use.

M is the published magnetic alignment from the aerodrome record. T is the bearing computed from the surveyed threshold coordinates. The feed publishes no variation here, so a degree or two between them is the two sources disagreeing about where the runway points rather than variation. The wind figures are resolved against the published alignment, which is what the rest of this site uses, so they agree with the crosswind calculator for the same wind.
