If you do end up on the HEX to Paddington, quickest (other than taxi) would be to walk for 5 minutes to Lancaster Gate (moderately well signed, fairly easy walk), then Central line direct to St Pauls
Either way, I think 1pm would be cutting it a bit fine. If everything goes well you'll make it, but you'll be stressed, and any delays means you won't
Agree. 2 hours is seriously pushing it, even with quiet immigration. For example, as a UK passport holder (and our lines are significantly quicker), arriving at 16:15 from Copenhagen at T5 with hand luggage only, I'd hope to be able to get the 18:40 train home from King's Cross (but that doesn't always work).
The other option for travel, if the timing works, is to take the Heathrow Connect to Ealing Broadway and change to the Central Line direct to St Paul's. However, this is only really worthwhile if you arrive at Heathrow Central with a Connect going in the next 10 minutes or so.
