No Special VFR Traffic allowed in Class A?!

On what grounds is all traffic excluded from Class A. No Special VFR to cross Class A around Heathrow. Not safety as they allow GA over Gatwick, Luton and Stansted. (I Know it's Class D)

Controllers must be very bored!!

Is this a bureaucratic anomaly? I understand Class A is IFR rule - but - No Special VFR or Helicopter Flights?!
