Hi,
United.com is allowing me to book this.
But don't I have to clear immigration at LHR?
Does UA and Aer Lingus even share the same terminal. Time to get b/w terminals?
Anyone done this before.

IAH-LHR will arrive in T4. The EI flight departs from T1. You'll clear immigration at LHR and then security - you just keep following the Flight Connections signs. There's a bus between the terminals specifically for flight connections.
I believe this connection time is legal - it is very achievable unless your inbound flight is delayed. I've done this connection many times without any problems.

Play with this a bit - it will help you. You will have to clear customs and immigration in the US. Would also recommend you not check bags. Note that the tool says no immigration, only security...

As a side note there's also a lot of EI flights to DUB and ORK from T1 daily so even if you miss it due to late arrival etc. you should be ok.
