Yes, this was going to be my recommendation despite this being the Hilton forum...
Sooo much more convenient. (And a very nice hotel). Save the points for something else. You can even check your bags with BA in the hotel lobby; it is about a 5 minute walk to the terminal from the hotel.
And you can ride the cool pods to the remote parking lot. ^
And LHR isn’t that complicated if you spend 10 minutes on the airport website and look at a map/schematic.
