Your post is near enough exactly the same as I will be doing at the end of Aug/ start of Sept, the only difference is we will have a UK domestic leg on BA before getting to LHR.

From what I have found out this is exactly what happens, I also believe that on my UK domestic leg I will get the luggage allowance which applies to the LHR-SIN leg which is why we are looking a J flight 3 x 32kg per person
For the last 3 months of your stay in the UK you can claim the vat back from any purchases that you take on the plane with you if you have shopped using the 'Tax Free Shopping Scheme'.
You need to be leaving for more than 12 months and when shopping have filled in the right paperwork/ shown passport with visa etc.
