More important to have something about to leave the service rather than just arrived.

Form up with Swanwick 259.600, 133.325. 275.625, 252.875. then probably to Thames Radar on 132.700 primary or 133.450. then Northolt App 126.450. Or Maybe Heathrow radar on 127.525.
Swanwick tend to bandbox their VHF with UHF frequencies. I don't have the vhf frequencies for Central or South areas
But they may use specially issued one day only frequencies for security reasons.
Just remembered; Swanwick frequency list in Heads Up. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=123819#p772838
