I (Ukrainian) am traveling to the USA via Heathrow in London, UK (LHR). I was a little confused from reading the UK govt website, I'm not sure if my transfer is "airside" or not.

More details:

My layover is 3 hours, arriving in terminal 3, departing terminal 5
My baggage is checked to my final destination.
I have a valid US B1/B2 Visa and a EU Residence permit.

Do I need to apply for a transit visa?

You can use this UK government website to Check if you need a UK visa – Weather Vane Jun 26 '22 at 19:05
I looked over those posts - I'm not sure if my transfer counts as "airside" or not – tcapwasraw Jun 26 '22 at 19:06
There are airside facilities to transfer between terminals, if your baggage is checked through without having to claim and recheck it. – Weather Vane Jun 26 '22 at 19:07
Ah ok. In that case I don't think I need a transit visa. Thanks! – tcapwasraw Jun 26 '22 at 19:08
It doesn't matter if you are travelling on a reasonable route to the U.S. with a valid U.S. visa. – xngtng Jun 26 '22 at 19:08
