On the contrary, they're "speed bullets" à la Coronado, to reduce drag as the aircraft approaches Mach 1.
Joking aside, I would imagine the canoes are flap track/screwjack fairings - I didn't have much to do with One-Elevens when I used to play with aeroplanes as BA's rarely came to LHR.
I had a quick look at GE to see if those fields are still there and was surprised to see that they mostly are, but I also noticed that you were probably on a downwind leg, rather than final.
It's Chris's photo, not mine, but it's definitely taken from an aircraft on finals for 13, having completed its procedure turn after overflying the airport. The diagonal road is the old B800 between Kirkliston and South Queensferry, with Milton Farm on the extreme left.
