At the other end
Around 8 to 9 hours non-stop, and the shortest long-haul sector from YYC. Overnight eastbound departures arrive in the morning, which is the easiest way to handle the seven-hour time difference.
Heathrow's terminals are far apart and inter-terminal transfers take real time. If you are connecting onward within Europe, check which terminal your second flight departs from before you book a tight connection.
A connection that changes London airport is a two to three hour ground journey, not a transfer. Onward tickets routed that way are frequently mis-sold as convenient and are worth avoiding unless the overnight is deliberate.
Eastbound is the harder direction. Staying awake until local evening on arrival day is the single most effective thing you can do, and it is easier on this route than most because you land in the morning.
