There's no way I'd risk taking that flight. It's an easy enough drive down to Boston the day before, and then you can get up at a much more reasonable hour, as well.
I think you've convinced me. I'll check out hotel options (and heck, I might just burn 40k HHonors points on a room)
I hate driving down to BOS before my London trips, since usually that means my itinerary is (a) drive 2+ hours, (b) fly to LHR, (c) clear immigration, (d) take train or tube into London, (e) schlep my stuff to the flat in Pimlico. Makes for a long day of planes, trains, and automobiles...
Thanks for the advice, everyone.
