A380 Routings off Lambourne when landing on 09s at Heathrow

I have noticed on more than one occasion that A380 aircraft are given what you could say was a direct route to lhr over West London when landing on 09. All other aircraft fly the normal rroute being over north west lLondon then turn over Maidenhead.

Emirates and qantas are the ones that i have noticed take this route. Does anyone know why they take this route which takes them to the south of the field to make the approach. The only reason i can think off is for easy gate access ie next to 9L.

Thanks in advance
