Then take the 06:05 flight from there to LHR. It overnights at NCL and because of crewing needs, it is a reliable service, if somewhat anti-social and gets you airside without further security for 07:20. Almost worth it to avoid T5 security, some would argue!
The Doubletree is almost by the domestic arrival door at NCL.
Personally I wouldn't advise the Manchester service, too risky, ditto any back to back at that hour.
But if you're overnighting, why not just do a B2B the night before and stay at LHR? The 19.25 to LBA, arriving back at LHR at 22.00 looks like a good choice.
I suppose that might be a little early if coming from work, but if OP can make it it would make for a much more relaxing morning before his 11.00 departure.
