Airside Transfer LHR 4 --> 3 - is there passport control? Timing?

Hey y'all,

Been reading some junky information on the interwebs and thought I'd come here to the source for some reality.
Need to buy a hop - PAR-LHR to connect to my VS PE LHR-JFK leaving at 4:35PM.

I *REALLY* would prefer to go ORY rather than CDG, and there's a Vueling flight at 2PM, arriving at 2:25.

I can't think why I wouldn't have a boarding pass already for the VS flight and no checked bags and I'll have fast track etc.
(I know all about the separate tickets and risk of misconnects - thanks.)

Just wondering about the airside transfer busses and if I can avoid passport control.

I can move quickly and know my way around airports, but not sure how smooth this process is.
And I want at least a few minutes to a stop at the Clubhouse on the way out.


Anyone done it recently? Have any thoughts?

thanks!
