411A on LHR ATC, not so at all, you're way offside on this one. ratarsedagain is spot on.
As someone who operates into LHR, AMS and CDG on an almost weekly basis, I can tell you LHR ATC is several orders of magnitude better than AMS or CDG.
LHR - you arrive at one of the 4 stacks and will likely orbit at the least. Thereafter you get very accurate track mileages to calculate your CDA (although judging from the stats released by LHR, the only pilots capable of doing consistent CDA's are those of EI, BA, BD and VS - it's not that difficult!). Speed will be 220kts leaving the hold, 180kts on base and once established 160kts til 4 DME. It works a treat.
AMS - depending on the weather be prepared for runways, sometimes several in a short space of time. Expect reduced track miles and short approaches. ATC is a bit hit and miss and think they're a little bit slicker than they are.
CDG - pretty good, would be even better if they spoke English only. You are given your runway on initial contact with approach. If you receive no instructions to the contrary, you are expected to intercept the relevant LOC if on an intercept track of less than 70 degrees. If you don't, you will stray into parallel traffic.
