That's about average, sometimes it can take a bit longer depending on how fast you walk etc. Once the buses were way backed up so I exited T3 and took the HEX to T5 (free) and in that case it took about 35-40mins from aircraft door to first glass of champs in FLounge. Ever since e-gates (I had this early due to trusted traveler for UK) and the First Wing LHR went from an airport I hated transiting through to one of the best in EU.
