Long Connection in Heathrow ... what to do?
-
That’s a mini day in London.
How well do you know it?
I’d go into central London and then do the things that seem interesting, which goes back to how well you know it. If you’re a novice I’d say see wedtminster abbey, the Churchill war rooms, etc.
Your hotel will store your bag.
I wouldn’t stay out by Heathrow. Maybe if your layover was 5-6hrs I’d say go visit Windsor castle, have lunch and return. But you have a complete afternoon and evening so head into London proper.

People try to do too much when visiting London. I'd just do one thing and spend some time there.
If you don't want to go into town, you could visit the Brooklands Museum, aviation and motorsport. I went there with my son when we had a half day left over at the end of a vacation and were flying out the next morning.

I have been to London but my last trip there was maybe 15+ years ago. This 21 hour layover at Heathrow seems too short to really do much and yet too long to waste, and I suspected what @AndyD (next door) says about tourist places shut at 5 or 6 PM, hence asking for advice. Thanks, I appreciate the suggestions.
