BA2272/3 Cancellations
Due to fly to NYC on BA2273 on 4th September. However, the flight was cancelled.
BA offered me a range of flights all from LHR. I had already booked my travel to LGW to what extent are BA able to cover compensation for my travel to LHR, if at all.
Thanks

Technically, BA is responsible for the cost of you getting from LGW to LHR to make your flight (see Q11 in The 2019 BA compensation thread: Your guide to Regulation EC261/2004 for more details). (Technically, this is not compensation in the sense that the term is used in that law.) I expect that if it makes more sense for you to go directly to LHR at a reasonable cost, BA is likely to pay up. But you don't say where you're starting from or how you were planning to get to LGW, so some more details would help.

On what date were you notified of the cancellation?

What sort of travel is it, then? I can't think of many types of local transfer that wouldn't be flexible enough to take you to LHR instead of LGW, if you were to ask.
