I have set this approach procedure for 27R at Heathrow. When you pass waypoint BIG09 the procedure disappears from the nav display and the plane no longer follows it using NAV mode on the autopilot.

If you do not want to follow the radar vectoring procedures you can plan an instrument approach from the Biggin Hill VOR BIG. From BIG route 335 degrees for 7.5 nm at 2,500 feet. Cross the London LON VOR radial of 105 degrees and turn left to intercept the localiser. The distance to run to the ILS 7.5 DME is 7.2 miles for Rw 27L and 7.5 miles for Rw 27R.
You can plot the approximate LON fix on the sim aircraft’s FMC/CDU at 105 degrees and the approximate range arc would be 15 miles.The sim autopilot’s NAV will follow that route smoothly.
The approximate position of the BIG 335/7.5 fix on the sim nav page. The nav page does not allow exact radials and distances to be plotted but the sim route on the FMC/CDU agrees well.
You will find looking up and following real world procedures enjoyable.
