Ha,
I was implying that the distance you have to walk from arriving at the doors of the terminal to the door of the plane was (almost) as far as walking from Slough, with exaggeration for effect.One possibly could walk to Terminal 5, but the approach ramp to the entrance floor does not have pavement.
There was, (pre-Covid), provision for bike parking at T5, although, it's not clear there is sufficient security to leave a bike there for any extended period

You don't need the terminal approach ramp, there are lifts/stairs from the ground floor. You do need to get across this bridge, or it's northern cousin, which is prohibited so it seems no walking to T5

It’s a short shuttle ride. Unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re referring to?
Train to Terminal station - lift - short walk to bag drop - short walk to security - then you’re in Departures - then it’s a shuttle to the gates. It’s a delight compared to older airports/terminals.

Make the most of it while you can walk to T5. You can't walk to T2/3. You can't cycle to them either.
