It is NOT LHR… No ground staff at LHR wear Orange hi-vis vests, as the guy standing to the very very right of the first picture is. Also, non of the jetties at LHR look like that, with a solid door and a window at the top, or the extending hand rail at the jetty extension section.
The ONLY thing which has any evidence of BA is the vest on the, who I presume is a TRM…

And… Now, having opened the images and magnified them all… I am going to put my neck on the line and say that is NOT a BA aircraft…
The uniform of the cabin crew member is not BA. The hat is the wrong shape, the name badge is not correct, as in it is just one name badge with no wings above it, and I don't believe, from recollection, the signage on the side of the door bustle is in the same place as a BA aircraft… We don't have any signage/writing on the side of the door bustle, all ours is on the top and front.

It looks like it could be T3 or T4. It does not look like a T5 jetty.
Maybe an airline that we handle at LHR or one that uses our engineering services.
It is not unusual for airlines to have contracts with other airlines for engineering assistance and I expect we ofer this to a number of airlines.

We sell our ground services to other airlines. So, for example, our engineers may be contracted to provide engineering support to Aero Mexico, which appears to be the case here, so there would be a team based at T4 whilst their aircraft were at LHR etc. Same as we are contracted to other airlines, and we also contract their engineering and ground handling at various airports around the world, sometimes in terminals they do not actually operate them self from.
