The original routing in this thread was ex-CPH, which is the key feature. BA business fares originating at other European airports are often significantly cheaper than fares originating at LHR. This is because the departure taxes are astronomical in the UK and because BA dominate that market.
I suspect BA are aiming this promotion at people beginning their journey in London and paying well north of two grand sterling, but the ex-EU pricing aspect of it makes it very tempting.
