I have been traveling almost annually in England or Scotland as a tourist for the last 25 years, so I know quite a bit about train travel, car rental, B&Bs, tourist discounts, standard tourist sites, good places to eat, pubs, prices, and things to do off

You have a short trip, and London totally shuts down on Christmas Day (DEC 25) and Boxing Day (DEC 26). Frankly, I would re-think the side trips to Paris and Heidelberg, but if you are determined then
The most reliable way to make the transfer to Harwich from Heathrow is a private car. One I have used in the past for airport transfers is Ray's London Transport, www.london-transfers.com. Check their
There is no train connection between Gatwick and Heathrow. National Express buses make the trip many times a day at a cost of about 20 pounds per adult and half price for children up to 15 years of age
British Airways and BMI (British Midland) have a number of flights to Manchester from Heathrow. Cost will be probably in the 80-90 pound range round trip (they call it "return") if you order in advance
As you probably know, Heathrow Airport is west of London, and Harwich is some distance east. You can get a private transfer, which is the easiest. Try Ray's London-Transfers.com or Airport Transfer
