I don't think it will be that unlikely to find a passenger on the Boston to London flight willing to switch, as I have done the flight many times and have been happy to swap with someone who asked politely.
If it will make the flight better, pay for seats!!!!! You cannot expect someone to take a less desirable seat just so you can sit together. Without reserved seats purchased in advance, you will probably each have a middle seat and want to swap one of the middles for a window or an aisle for which another passenger has paid extra.
