Yes, Heathrow has four long-haul terminals, all of which get A380 services.
Which one did you think wasn't long haul?

T1, but I see you saying it's no longer in use. (And hence any memory of
the quickest exit route is moot).

LHR T1 closed almost two years ago, and in its final few months had
few remaining flights. But before then, there were actually five
terminals handling long-haul flights for a period, as T1 also handled
some long-haul flights. It was probably decades ago that T1 was
short-haul only, certainly before T4 opened.

It must therefore be quite a few years since LHR only had three
terminals with long-haul flights. Perhaps it was before T5 opened,
when T2 was still used mainly for short-haul European flights (it was
originally called the Europa Building); however, I'm not sure if it
didn't get a few long-hauls as well.
