The rest of the trip for an Indonesian passport, from the arrival form to customs and travelling with children: United Kingdom entry requirements.
The details for an Indonesian passport.
Indonesian nationals are visa nationals. Not on the DATV list, so airside connections are possible without a UK visa if you stay airside and meet carrier conditions. Landside transit (passing border control, leaving within 48 hours) needs a Visitor in Transit visa (GBP 74.50) unless you hold a visitor visa.
How long it must be valid.
Must be valid for the whole of your stay (no 6-month rule). EU/EEA/Swiss visitors need a passport; national ID cards are accepted only with EU Settlement Scheme status or certain other permissions. Dual British nationals must travel on a British passport or a certificate of entitlement, because they cannot get an ETA.
