Time to Clear security at Heathrow

We’re flying in to Heathrow from Venice with a 1:00 pm arrival time. We only have two hours to board our connection flight home to CA. Our arrival and departure are both in Terminal 5 and we have access to Fast Track. Does anyone have experience with making it through security etc? We are a bit concerned we’ll miss our flight home.

We went thru Heathrow yesterday midday with 2.5 hours between connections and had plenty of time to shop and go to the British Airways lounge. You don't have to remove your liquids from your suitcase anymore. All connections were in Terminal 5. Relax and have a great trip!

I find security at Heathrow a little variable, but rarely have I spent more than a couple of minutes with fast track. Assuming no issues with your inbound flight it should be fine.

Make sure you follow the Flight Connections signs. You will be ushered to a separate area for security. Look for the Fast Track sign.

It's fairly quick.

Also keep an eye out for your departure gate. T5 has the main terminal plus two additonal Satellite buildings. There is an underground tram between the buildings.
