[Heathrow - Cobham]
The other possibility is some kind of nifty route that cuts across the
south western fringes of London, but I don't think there is one really.

Having lived round there for a couple of years, the only possible
alternate car route is via Hampton Court. It's probably less risky to
use the M25, especially if starting from T5.

For Cobham I'd have thought it better to stick further west, through
Chertsey or Walton. But that does mean crossing the
Crooked Billet...

There's no public transport short-cut, everything else is radial
(including the bus to Woking).

The only orbital routes are the 724 (what happens to that when they
start on the 3rd runway?) and the X26. Are there any equivalent
routes on the eastern side of London?

Anyway, I know it's too late now but the OP's journey could almost
be done by the X26 to Kingston, then 515 to Cobham though I think
that might be the wrong end of Cobham.

Or there's the 555 from Heathrow (inc. T4 but not 5) to Walton
station and train from there.
