What will it happen if my plane from Bucharest arrive there a bit late ? I read that the minimum connection time for Heathrow London Terminal 5 is 60min!
As you have booked on one single ticket, the most important thing to know is that if you miss the London to Hong Kong flight because your inbound flight is late or something goes wrong during the connection, BA will put you on the next flight with available seats for no extra charge. There is a later flight to Hong Kong (BA27) which will depart at 2100, and you would be unlucky not to get on that even if you've missed your earlier flight. So you don't need to worry about this. The fact that the minimum connection time is 60 minutes shows that you have an excellent chance of getting to your booked flight anyway, even if you won't have much time to spare.
