Might I recommend looking at Poland or Sweden as a start point for a DONE3/4? With the current 10% fare sale, prices ex-WAW are cheaper (in USD equivalent, not sure about GBP) than ex-JNB, and clearly easier to access from London. ARN is not much different. AA also has excellent GSA representation in both WAW and ARN - Tal Aviation, so if you used the AA RTW desk to ticket the itinerary, it could be issued by Tal in Poland or Sweden, you'd probably save quite a lot on fuel fines, and end up significant money ahead.
Just a thought.
