I would just short check into BEY, then bag drop in the morning rather than spend those and the LHR flight hours wondering if the bags are ok.
I didn't know that, thanks for the info!
My trip went well except that my anker powerbank is now sitting at the lost and found for me to ever pick it up :/
What I did is check a small bag all the way to LHR with non important stuffs and keep my carry-on with me.
I negotiated with the transfer desk to come back see them in the morning to check the bag with the electronics.
Both made it ok to LHR.
