What would people reccomend as the best way to getting to LHR? I had been considering a private driver since the idea of getting on the underground to the city centre, getting the bags, then out to LHR sounds very tight. However, I am not sure if the roads will all be blocked around Wembley when the game finishes.

If we are doing a private hire with driver, who would people reccomend as being reliable.

So the journey will be Wembley to central London then LHR? Where in central London? The roads won't be blocked per se, but there will be an element of gridlock and painfully slow in my experience. Public transport is usually overwhelmed too.
