Yep, you do the speeds you are told, when told to do so, and tell ATC ASAP if you can’t comply

You can indeed expect to be given 220 off the hold (“leave Bovingdon heading xxx degrees 220 knots).

180 knots with the turn onto base...then at some point you’ll get told to reduce to “160 to 4 DME”...and FWIW the other gotcha now at LHR is with Time Based Separation ATC really do mean 160 IAS until you hit 4 DME...not before.
