Funnily enough LHR also has a railway station. And an underground. But I’d assume a number do drive in any case or they wouldn’t bother having car parks.
By southern England I didn't mean south of London. There are direct trains to LGW from Cambridge, Peterborough and Luton, I believe. And Milton Keynes, or is it just bletchley?
But of course the North famously begins at Watford.
And LHR only has trains to central London.
Granted, LHR is a major coach hub. People get the coach there simply to change to a coach somewhere else.
