As this thread is about transfers and connections - anyone know if he could leave the airport if he wanted to? I think he has relatives in london which would help ease the 10 hour layover.

Would he have to pull his bags or could he just clear customs, leave and then go back through security later?
He can check his bags all the way through, the clear immigration and customs without his checked luggage, and then just reclear security upon his return to LHR. Many of us have done this a lot without any problems whatsoever.
