Only using 27L for landing at the moment due no ILS 27R. Inbound aircraft tend to be routed on a westerly heading 3-5 miles south of the final approach track from about 15-20 miles out till 8-10 miles, then a right turn on to a closing heading, to intercept at 6-8 miles. On Tuesday inbounds from the north were routeing virtually overhead LHR, then joining the pattern from the south, but now they just go on a very wide base over E London.
