Apologies if that seems like a dig at the OP, but I lived/worked in the area for decades. Woking, Uxbridge, Richmond, Windsor ... they're all relatively nearby and surely cheaper than Central London which has to be the most expensive option.
Nail on head. You lived and worked in the area. The OP is from Scotland. How on earth is he supposed to have the knowledge of the area you do.

Pay up BA. You've already acknowledged there is such limited availability you have given up sorting it for the OP. If there was an option within 10 miles, why on earth did BA not book it for him?
