With additional documentation required due to covid and Brexit, wait times (re-)entering the UK has become a bit less predictable than in the past. I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread where people could briefly report the wait times they experienced entering the UK at different airports / ferry ports / railway stations, with enough information (weekday, approximate time, terminal and any priority status) so we could all get an idea of what to expect for upcoming travels. I've had a look and couldn't find anything similar, but if someone knows better than me, please let me know!

I'll start off with my last trip from a few weeks ago...

Port: Amsterdam Central (Eurostar)
Wait time: 25mins to get through security and immigration queue (with a single checkpoint for all passengers - I didn't see anyone go through the Business Premier entrance to skip the queue while I was there and no separate EU/UK/rest-of-world for immigration). No custom check for me on arrival at St Pancras so went straight through.
Date: Sunday in mid-August 2021
Time: 13:00
