I found Heathrow airport funny. I have a relative in London. I had 12 h layover. i just took my chance and asked the custom office whether I can leave airprot. He gave me transit visa just like that.

The other time I was sure I will get transit visa. However the other office told me it is upon the discretion of him and he is not giving me one...lol...

NO matter what you guyus say I found Heathrow "boring" you do not know your gate until last 15-30 minutes. Sometimes you have to run as some gates are not that close from "main hall." I do not know which terminal I was talking abt here though...
