Or from e.g. LHR with at least one, preferably two flights after your connection, just in case it all goes pear shaped on the day. Just my two cents.
99% of the time this is exactly what I do...especially for work (which this trip isn't). It's just not worth the potential hassle, even though it 20 mins from my house and check in to gate is never more than 5 mins...it's so small and empty
