Yes, LHR is the one you don't want to make a mistake at. The transportation people factor that 30 (heck, I've seen that tunnel so backed up it would be 60+ mins!) minute difference into their pickup/dropoff plans.
Years ago I remember waiting in B "because that's international arrivals!" for ages for friends from the UK before realizing it was Continental and they were coming in to Terminal C. Had to pretend traffic made me late rather than admit my error, lol.
I did the opposite back in the day, around 1991. Waiting for family and friends to come in for my wedding. Went to C and stood around waiting, but of course they were coming into B with SAS. I couldn’t believe it. I had just done that trip a couple of years earlier...
