Not non stop. The only non stop from PHX to anywhere in Europe is British Airways (OneWorld) 288/289 to and from London Heathrow.
If you want Star you're likely looking at United with a connection in Chicago, Newark or Houston, or Air Canada connecting in Toronto.

I've yet to go to London, but I'd love to just hang out in the BA terminal one day. They seem to have flights everywhere, including all major-semi major airports in the US. Assuming it's a daily 747, they wouldn't run it if they didn't think it was worth it, but how many people and how much high yield traffic could really be on that route day to day. I know there's the alliance partnership with US airways who's hub is there, I guess they try to funnel traffic to that flight, but it's just hard to imagine the loads are very good.

OP - if you want to see for yourself, check out openflights.org - you can identify where you can go from certain cities and who flies there.

The flight came well after US' first failed partnership with BA and before US' current partnership with BA. They made it profitable with very little connecting traffic ex-ORD. A combination, no doubt, of desert people going to London and points beyond along with people headed to AZ for the sun and Grand Canyon. I'd be interested to know what portion of traffic ex-LHR was open jaw traffic between LHR, PHX, and either LAS or LAX.

Also bear in mind that even the high-density 747 that BA sends to PHX has "only" 345 seats.
