Whilst perhaps not at short notice, in general I find BOS-LHR pretty easy to find availability, certainly more so than any other route I've looked at bar NYC-LHR.

That is if you can book relatively far in advance. I booked for this July in late December and there was pretty much availability every day in F and J
