We are scheduled to arrive in London at 8:25 a.m. on American and then on a 10:20 British Airways flight to Athens. We are not checking any luggage. Is 2 hours enough time to get through immigrations & customs?
Thanks

Iffy, at best.

You won't go through immigration/customs until you arrive in Athens. But you will have to go through another security screening at Heathrow. 2 hours is cutting it very close. As American and BA are partners they should be able to put you on a later flight or route you through another city should you miss your original connection.

as long as you are connecting through the same airport you may have a chance especially if you were booked on it together and not by your own planning.
Just follow the sign for connections.

Hi,
We had no problem making it through Heathrow in 2 hours and we had to pick up boarding passes in London for our flight to Munich. It will be fine but don't waste time.

Two hours is close, but you should make it. As many on this site can probably report, transiting through Heathrow is often a slow, inefficient process.
