NCL, ABZ, INV, NQY, MAD, BCN, GIB, CDG, TLS, FRA, MUC & TXL as well as increased capacity or flights to the current JER, MAN, EDI and GLA
Feeding traffic could equally come from sticking the BA code on BE domestic flights, and AB European flights, giving sub-standard Y only feeders onto long-haul. MA already feeds with a BA code. Maybe S7 will start flights to DME, also with BA code.
I doubt you will see dual LHR/LGW services again to CDG/NCL/MAD/FRA/MOW etc etc.
