Need a year-end TP run (ex-LON) to make / retain status?
Some tips for searching for the year-end TP run for newcomers, the below is indicative only, but hopefully provides a bit of guidance for relatively straightforward runs ex-LON. The guide to using ITA matrix in post #4 (see here) along with these ideas, might come in handy. Feel free to share results, problems or general questions in the thread as these may not always work and there might be better deals out there...
For overnight trips remember to check BA and Iberia for their flights and hotel option as well, can get hotel for almost no extra cost at times
Need 80 TPs or fewer
Club Europe return somewhere close by is best - DUB, AMS and JER usually cheapest. AMS and JER easier than DUB for an immediate turnaround. The BA.com low fare finder can be very useful.
If you need as few as 45 TPs you might consider booking economy flights and hoping for a proactive online upgrade offer - but they're not guaranteed to materialise (so not one if you have no more time left in your TP collection year). Alternatively, booking a return to one of the 40 tier point destinations with one way in CE and the return in ET (or vice versa if cheaper). Bilbao, Jersey and Amsterdam seems the most cost effective for this.
Need 85-120 TPs
Iberia flights via MAD to regional Spanish airports will get you 120 TPs as the domestic Spanish flights are 20 TPs in business. Under Ł300 including hotel can be available. Check BIO, GRX, VLC, BCN, SVQ etc. Example here
Need 125-160 TPs
Take a look at the shorthaul plus routes earning 80 TPs each way in business listed in the first post (here) MLA, IST, HEL and RAK are usually available. If time sensitive take a look at BA flight and hotel option to HEL, where you can usually get the last BA flight out on a Saturday, airport hotel and first return Sunday for well under Ł500.
Alternative options include positioning to JER and flying JER-LGW-XXX (AMS usually works well and avoids switching airports)
Need more than 160 TPs
You'll most likely be heading north then - OSL or VNO via HEL will get you 240 TPs, as will JER-LGW/LHR-HEL e.g. LHR-HEL-OSL for Ł520. Also the BA fare for LHR-HEL-TLL at ~Ł235 is still available and would get 200 TPs for a return.

Well just back from Vegas and had a TP run go horribly wrong and will be a lowly Silver come June.
I had booked LAS-LAX-SJO return. First flight of the day to LAX at 8:45am was canceled at boarding. Called AA and as there was no way of getting me to LAX before the second leg I canceled for a refund.
To make matters worse to top up the 20 TP that I also needed I had taken a Y return to LAX the day before costing $112. So that was wasted.
I posted on the AA board to ask if I was fobbed off by the agent when I asked if I could just pay for the flights and collect the miles, to which he said if I was posting miles to AAdvantage then yes, but not to BAEC, to be met with more Apologists than ever I have seen on here.
Apparently they think its quite alright for AA to cancel a flight for technical reasons and offer no recompense other than a full refund or a flight to first port of call in the evening. Makes you appreciate that in the UK airlines have to be more proactive when they mess up or its going to cost them money, where in the US there is no major reason to pull their finger out.

Don't really see why you cancelled this, unless time was a huge constraint?

AA would have rebooked you to SJO. Likely on a different routing, but they would have done it. Then you could have claimed the original routing credit (i.e. the Avios and TPs you would have gotten for your original booking if your net route earns less) from BA.

I knew about ORC and we tried to work it out on the phone. I even told the agent I was on a MR and he could send me anywhere he liked as long as I was back by 9pm.

You should have taken any re-route even if fewer legs, and claimed for ORC (original routing credit) which you would have got.

I canceled because AA were unable to get me on 3 legs (which is the amount I needed) to SJO on that day which is when it had to be done.

i became unstuck on my Panama run last year in DCA and what a crap airport to be stuck at lol, I ended up getting rebooked on IRROPS to LAX in Full F so ended up with more avios in the end anyway but I know they do offer rebooks and are actually pretty flexible with them, In my case I ended up getting a better flight in a higher ticket class

I would have to complete 3 legs to get all the points/TP's. That's why I told him to send me anywhere and back.
I had to trust what he said, I didn't want to chance going with what I thought was right and finding out later I was wrong.
Also that morning while writing down the flight numbers for my wife before I left I noticed that the LAX-SJO and SJO-LAX were the same flight number (schoolboy error) and was in 2 minds whether it counted as one flight with a stop, or 2 different flights. I had read up on this after finding out and there seemed to be a lot of ifs or buts about it. I did have separate BP's for these legs

I know someone who had a 14 sector journey, got IRROPed early on, then it ended up being 8 sectors, and obtained full ORC. Needless to say they were very happy
