I was surprised, Oxford Circus to LHR T5 is almost as quick as Oxford Circus to LCY.
Taking departing Monday around 12:00 as an example the TFL Journey Planner is showing times of about 34 minutes for LCY and 37 minutes for LHR.
However, LCY is smaller, no conformance and shorter check-in + boarding deadlines.
