LON is not the best geographically located hub for North Asia - European transiting passengers. CPH, HEL, AMS all make better sense.

Hence the main traffic would be O&D passengers. South Korea is not the biggest market to/from UK, and there are competition to go through PEK/NRT. OZ puts a 777 and I think KE uses a 747?
