Question Ex-dub trip luggage arrangements

Afternoon all,

So in a couple of weeks time my gf and I are off on our very first EX-EU to the US in Club out of DUB

Our positioning flight is good old BA4463 from lcy to dub the evening before (Fri)

Since we plan to take 2 x Carry on and 2x large suitcases I recently realised that lugging two large bags to work Fri morning rush hour and then slogging to lcy after work, to suffer their checked bag queues wasn't a good idea. So decided I would go to Heathrow on the Thursday evening and put them in bag drop in arrivals (I live in west London anyways so not a hassle). Then on Saturday morning when we arrive from DUB we could exit into arrivals collect them and recheck for the TATL.

Now I've found out there is a tube strike so that has complicated that plan.

Just wanted a bit of advice really.

Should I try my plan to stash them at Heathrow as I'm conscious rechecking means going through all the security etc again and on a Saturday morning I just want to go enjoy the lounge for a bit?


Or should I just bite the bullet and take them to DUB on the Friday evening?

Sorry I know this is 1st world problems but interested to know what others have done!
