Time your arrival to be about half an hour after they're set to land so you don't have to wait around for them. Tip: International flights may require your party to go through customs and can take longer for them to get their luggage. Plan on arriving 45 minutes to an hour after their flight is scheduled to land.
The peak times at London Heathrow Airport is from 10 AM to 1 PM, and 5 PM to 8 PM. Since London Heathrow Airport is the busiest airport in the UK, you'll find it jam-packed with passengers 24/7.
So 2 hours should be ok - unless you run into really long lines at the connection center. Also no passport control and no customs. A second option is: immigration / customs in T1, walk through the tunnel to T3, security at T3.
You will get off the plane, go past customs (unless you have something to declare), and will need to wait at Immigration/passport control. This might take five minutes or two hours; it depends on how many people arrive at the same time you do. As a rule of thumb, I'd allow about an hour.
