Now I have a home in both DUS and London, so I really wouldn't mind flying to LHR on EW or even just driving over and leaving my car in London - should the DUS-LHR leg get cancelled.

But... Will that even be an option? Do BA allow skipping a connecting flight when it's cancelled with no viable alternative?

I guess another option will always be to move it to AMS, but at that point I might as well drive straight to London...
I was booked IBZ-LHR-GRU return

When the Ibiza leg cancelled BA said no problem to start in London and the agent said this was standard policy not a special Covid policy. You could also start from another airport within 300miles of DUS.

But you do need to wait for the outbound DUS leg to cancel.
