Correct, no configuration changes in a windshear go-around and no turns either at LHR (no terrain concerns). LHR ATC will also assume that the aircraft will not adhere to the usual missed approach altitude of 3000ft and normally arrange a clearance with TC to 6000ft which will be available 99% of the time.
