I'd forget transferring by cab. Per the London Cabs website, cab fare from LGW to Central London is 85 pounds, and from there to LHR is another 45 - 60 pounds.
I second the recommendation for the National Express Bus. Per their website, it's only 19 pounds/person for the transfer.

Strange suggestion. For a 19h layover, it is certainly possible. You say you will be tired when you come from Greece, but that's just a 4h flight. What I'd do is to get a hotel near Paddington or in South-West London on the Piccadilly Line. You should make it to the hotel by 4:30pm. So you could easily be in the West End by 6pm for a stroll and an early dinner. Back at the hotel by 9pm or 10pm depending on how you feel. Then get up at 6:30am to be at the airport at 8:00am. Much better than having nothing to do a whole afternoon and evening.
Of course, if you do not actually only come from ATH, but before ATH, there was also a SIN-ATH flight (or something like that), I'd just lay down early at LHR as well.
