Only seen them directing 747s so far along that route.
Ryanair come over here regularly but they just head south east and continue on that route... But they are always at higher altitudes.
Shame they don't send A380 down here lol they direct them along past clacton over Chelmsford more.

Those Ryanairs are probably out of Luton and since you have a few upper airspace routes around your manor that diverge over the Lambourne VOR you would expect to see a fair bit of traffic.
The jumbos are probably non-standard departures out of Heathrow if they are routing South East and they probably turn towards a waypoint called KOPUL (a GPS fix just NE of the Isle of Sheppey). Departures to the SE from Heathrow usually route via Detling and Dover on a track well South of your location.
BTW you might see the A380 at high altitude over your place. Have you thought about getting a Radarbox or SBS to keep a track in realtime?
