Thanks. Starting to panic for some daft reason. The fact is that its all booked with BA and if we miss the flight, I know they will get us on the next one, but starting to think if I should have looked at other options.

Come on down to the M25🎶, the cones and the contraflow systems 🎶. And that piece of road can screw anybodys day up.
I used to use the M25 daily and ive lost 8 hours on there for a 3 car shunt before.

I'm going that route too, but decided, for me personally, the stress of a tight connection just wasn't worth it so I booked our flight to Heathrow for the night before.

It is doable, but three hours is the minimum recommended connection time and really doesn't allow for any delays. I have that connection time for the way home, but I don't care if I miss that flight

Edited to add - I have booked transfers with Twelve Transfers. They were recommended to me, and people on here seeem to have had good experiences with them.
