Heathrow Last Night

Landed in from Mauritius last night on BA122. I was suprised to see EGLL so busy. We entered the stack above South East London at 12000ft and did 5 turns, descending down to 7000ft. When we finally got approach clearance we descended really quickly and also flew quickly toward 27L. However I noticed we landed halfway down the runway and that the pilot slammed on the brakes so hard that everyone was thrown forward.
Is there a reason that we landed so far down, and also does anyone know how quickly the planes were coming in, as I could see at least 7 planes on approach.

Thanks
