Strange line of questions.
It seems you (or is it some friend) has either a dodgy passport or a dodgy visa or some sort of travel ban imposed on an existing visa.
You wish to know if you can travel from wherever you currently are into the heart of UK without any checks whatsoever;
you are essentially asking how you can enter UK illegally and disappear from the radar.
We are not living in the stone age here, you can't just wave a passport at a dozy border guard and hope to sneak in.
The CC used to buy a ticket, the APIS data sent before you fly, the DCS & PNR data sent when you fly & the mobile phone in your pocket (as you wander round the airport) can all be used track you & alert the authorities you are on your way, even before you pass through an eGate barrier or traditional passport control point.
Due to the CTA the UK & Irish authorities work closely together; a visa ban from one country will flag up at the border in the other country.
Have a safe trip.
