See here.
Seating guide: Boeing 777
In the Wiki if you click on 'see more' at the bottom you'll get the different configurations but I think it will be a 777-300 which is the last one in the Wiki. If it is avoid 7K as it can be used as a crew rest seat so likely to be bumped out.

If its the 77W variant then rows 5-7 are my favourite with its small intimate cabin. These seats do usually book up quickly FYI. Night flight both ways so window seat doesn't provide any distinct advantages but if I am travelling solo id go for window seat for privacy.

She's currently in 5A outbound on BA11 on a 77W variant and in 7A inbound on BA12, again on a 77W variant. Based on the replies above (for which, many thanks) it would appear she is sitting pretty. Not as pretty as she might have been however: For a surprise I tried to pay to upgrade her to F (I am her executive club nominee) but was told that this was not possible and she would have to try her booking agent (it is a corporate travel agency booking). Interestingly the very helpful Lancastrian lady on the Gold line said it might be possible to upgrade the return leg online, once the outbound leg has been flown. We shall see.

Funny one last night on the Tampa - LGW flight (BA2166) .. I was booked in WT+ on the bulkhead aisle seat ... WT+ and CW were completely full .. but WT was only about 1/4 full and for Weight and Balance reasons almost all the booked pax in WT were in the rear cabin ( which was still pretty empty) with nobody apart from the bassinets in the middle cabin .. people asked not to move before takeoff but then no problem .. as soon as the seatbelt sign went off I did a voluntary downgrade to a 4 seater middle row in WT and slept for most of the flight ( wasn't interested in dinner/drinks... fairly short flight and I'd been up late the night before! ) .. unusual loading on the flight, not sure I've ever seen the front so full and the back so empty .. I think 'creating' the downgrade was the right move .. full row in WT beats a single seat in WT+ for me if you're after sleep

Hi. We are flying SFO-LHR on a 773 in old club suite. We've decided to book seats as the cabin is filling up and we don't fancy sitting in the middle. We've gone for 11J and 11K. Are these seats ok? We're tempted by bulkhead at the back of the cabin, but didn't want to be too close to the loos or bassinets. Weren't many window seat pairs left.

While bulkhead is good for 16A and K to get out without climbing over anyone (same with 16EF but you are stuck in the middle with no privacy for take off and landing with the divider down), you are quite correct that you will be next to the toilets and also bassinet in PE is behind the curtain, not far from you.
Depends what is more important to you.
