If you do the trip frequently its more cost effective to stay on a return from London, but otherwise not a lot you can do as CX has a stranglehold on HKG and BA has a stranglehold on LHR.
Yup. I do at least 6 LHR/HKG return bookings a year for my children as it's cheaper doing it this way if you wish to fly CX on this route. Typically costs around ~GBP 700+ return in non deep discount economy booked ~3 months in advance for Easter and summer holidays, but around ~GBP1,000 for Christmas.
