I doubt it. Only JFK and TLV have shuls to the best of my knowledge.

It probably depends on what you were expecting. If you're expecting them to be "literally everywhere", you may be disappointed. Although considering the ultra orthodox population of Central London, they are rather common.

I used the link in wiki to find their locations- and even called up those locations and verified they carry them, just that they didn't get any that week...

That's another question entirely. The locations I asked in person said they get restocked daily.

There used to be a multi faith prayer room just outside the terminal. I imagine it's still there.
I'm sure Rabbi Hershi Vogel, the airports Jewish chaplain would be more than happy to advise you on that.

Lol, I'm looking for ways to fill 5 days here, not empty them out

Is it really that bad at both day and night?
People said that about the Singapore Flyer, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

London eye if good, is only good ON A CLEAR DAY. not with low cloud cover, which is common in london. so its a day by day thing YMMV

another cheap tourist attraction which isn't mentioned is the emirates air-line and flight simulator. basically a cable car over the river.
you can get a decent package deal with that and a riverboat there together.
must see areas are covent garden, walk along the thames, walk down whitehall, hit up camden town (just not with children!)

While we didn't have time to go on the Emirates Air-Line (though I thought it looked cool!) we did go to Covent Garden (which is basically just a whole bunch of shops). I didn't really see why people were making such a big fuss about it. It was nice though.

Correct.
Unless you plan on taking a bus before using the tube.
