Wow, so much information so little brain function left!

Are any of these options helpful when going through Security at Heathrow? Have an eight hour layover and would like to see central London but worried about re-entry going badly. Any advice?

Personally, I do not think you have the time to go to central London. If not collecting luggage, I would budget at least an hour from arrival (opening the door) to get off plane, walk to customs / immigration, 30 minutes at least if able to catch the Heathrow Express so at least 2 hours to get from plane to London, quite possibly 2.5 to 3 hours. Budget at least the same to return, check in and clear security and you are looking at best having enough time to grab a bite and wave at Buckingham Palace.

My personal advice, skip it but others may have more recent, relevant experience doing just as you plan.

Also, check out www.flyertalk.com. They have location specific forums and are my go to for detailed travel questions such as yours. TexAgs is a decent 2nd for info.
