Go the LHR, or anywhere in the LTMA, the controllers speak slowly and clearly to crew that clearly are unfamiliar with the airspace, taxiways and language. And guess what...... less blocked frequencies due to read backs required. How simple is that.
ATC 101, the busier the freq, the slower and more precise you speak. Avoids corrections and repeats.
