I normally fly BA, and would have no concerns doing this with both flights in T5, but I'm not at all familiar with T2&3. I'm flying UC on the LHR-JFK leg, so I should have priority security if that's at all relevant.
I'd say that's tight.

Like you, until his flight I've flown BA connecting through LHR. I'd take 1hr 15 at a push for T5 but even that gives little scope for arrival delays...I've done BA T5 to T3 and wouldn't do a 1hr 15 connection on that, too risky unless there was a later flight out as a backup plan.

I deliberately booked the flight that gives me the 3hr+ connection at LHR, if I get through more quickly I'm sure the Clubhouse will help while away the hours.

Didn't notice if it mentioned when you're flying, im not until he mid of November but happy to report bag on the connection if its before your trip.
