Why would you fly via LHR to get from NRT to LAX? (If it was me, I'd go via HNL (and have done a few times) and spend a couple of days on the beach.)
The only thing I can think of is that your on a RTW (xonex) in which case, why not stay a night in London anyway, or spend a little time in Europe somewhere (assuming you have spare sectors on your tkt)??
Of course, there is a cost to this (hotel etc.,) but there are some great deals around for accom. at the moment so it wouldn't cost too much.
Just my opinion anyway...
Anyway, I believe this x-fer is doable - and as has been said, if BA allows it to be booked, they'll spike you a hotel if you can't make it.
I agree it's an unusual itinerary, but I'm one of the winners in BA's Face of Opportunity contest. More info here:

I'm staying in London on the way over, then off to Tokyo from there. I have to return thru London as well, hence the odd flight plan.
