Depending on your timings, it might be better to either (i) check it in to the MAD flight as well, or (ii) leave it at left luggage in T5 in the morning and pick it up during your transfer later at LHR.

I don't know what your turnaround timing in MAD is, but I'll just drop in the warning about travelling on separate tickets and the potential dangers and financial implications of no-showing for the next ticket (as you don't have a connection and are not protected.)
