HM Customs is not your primary concern. Your concern is how fast you can walk.

It takes 10 minutes for you to walk all the way.
Not only how fast you can walk , rather the flight arrival. 2 winters ago (during the bad snow storms in London), my flight was delayed arriving and turning around and CO4 landed at 1 pm. I had originally had 11 hour transit and planned to head to the city. The estimated time at immigration was about 45 minutes to 1 hr. Decided not to head out. On return, we were at our airport hotel less than an hour of immigration/bus ride.
