Connecting flight time Stockholm
I have booked a non-amendable ticket from Stockholm (ARN) to Miami (MIA), via London (LHR). I no longer plan to go to Stockholm and will actually be in London.
The most convenient flight for me from LHR to ARN only allows a 45 minute transit time before I return to LHR.
The ARN to LHR aircraft will be the same as the one used to travel LHR to ARN, i.e. if I am delayed leaving London, the inbound will also be delayed. It is BA.
Will the fact I am using the same aircraft to return mean I am safe and can make the 45 minute transit? Will I have to go through security? I will have no luggage.

It's Terminal 2. Before you get as far as passport control there's a door on your right where you can call someone to let you through to departures. Some people used this last summer so that they could go straight back when BA were testing the 787 on this route.

Info by koshka is correct, so an immediate turn-around is indeed possible within the short time provided. Be sure to either print BP or text it before leaving LHR, and you'll be fine.

If I may tag on a related ARN-connection question? My first time connecting in ARN so just want to be sure:
LH business (FRA-ARN) connecting to TG business (ARN-BKK). US passport.
From the ARN website, it seems both LH and TG use terminal 5.
I have 1hour, 25 minutes scheduled as the layover. 12:15PM to 1:40PM
I assume there will be both security screen and immigration process, correct?
How difficult/time consuming is the connection at ARN? Anything I need to be worried about or aware of? Any priority lines for Business Class that I should be looking out for?
Thanks.

As you are flying in from Schengen you do not have to go through immigration upon landing, but you have to go through immigration when leaving Sweden - this is a quick process that should only take a few minutes maximum.
There is no additional security screening at ARN T5. You get straight into the departures hall and can go straight to the lounge.
