LHR Ground/Tower ?

Don't have access to any Jepps or Aerad at the moment so was wondering, having recently operated from the cargo terminal south of 09R/27L, and taxied along Sierra (S) for 27L to hold point Sierra Bravo 1 (SB1). I wanted to know whether you find it acceptable to cross SB1 and hold just short of the runway in the ILS sensitive area when told "line up 27L after the second BMI A320" or should we wait at SB1 until the 2nd A/C is rolling?
Reason being the two times I've operated from there, there has been several A/C waiting to depart, and the first Captain decided to wait near the runway so not to waist time lining up, while Cpt #2 decided to wait at SB1 until the A/C began to roll.
Cheers
