50 min transfer time, ouch. I take it you would be put on a later HEL-LHR flight when you inevitably miss your connection?

Yes (and later flight might be narrowbody), but 50mins is enough time to visit lounge still at HEL.

There is no way you would miss a connection in the same non-Schengen zone at HEL as long as your flight lands on time. I’ve made a connection with only 25mins.

HEL is (one of?) the best airports in Europe when it comes to quick connections.

I'm doing the round trip of this route in early November - 25hrs from leaving LHR to touching back down again. I booked as 2 x 1-way as Business Lite wasn't offering on a return ticket so it pushed up the cost quite a bit. The LHR-HEL-DXB portion was £550, so the whole thing came in around £1K for 440TP's - not the best TP earning ratio - but starting and finishing in LHR does have significant advantages and 3 out of 4 flights are on a wide-body aircraft. For those who are looking for cheaper options, try CPH as a starting point.
