Heathrow offers a Reserve And Collect service, so if you know what you want you can order online

If you had a longer transfer, you could book the Terminal Shopping Transfer service, but that requires a >3 hour layover and a promise to spend >£250. Sadly your transfer is too short for that, so I think the Reserve And Collection service is likely to be your best bet
Thanks for your valuable information. I will keep that in mind when planning my layover in London Heathrow. I will see if I can do "Reserve And Collect" for this trip once I find out the duty free shop carries what I want and I can get a better price on it.
