Then you have my sympathy. Heathrow is just about the worst place they
could possibly pick for you to stay.

1. How easy/costly is it to get from Heathrow airport area to the
touristy things like Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben,
Aquarium?

It will be a pain in the arse.

2. Is there anywhere better to stay for ~ 125 GBP that might be a more
convenient location and comparable to the Sheraton Skyline?

No idea what that hotel is like, but you'll be able to find cheaper
places around, say, Bloomsbury, Lancaster Gate, or in Southwark, which
are perfectly acceptable. Of course, being a Londoner I never stay in
hotels here, but I'm told by people who've come a-visiting that those
are good places to find decent cheap accomodation.
