You may need to rethink that. Usually the cheaper flights are the connectors (because people will pay more for nonstips). You might also look into the cost of taking the train down to New York and flying from JFK or EWR. You tend to get some funky airlines like Air India or Kuwait Air that stop in London on the way to the Middle East. (I was looking at Paris for the Spring, and Air India had the best price, but we decided not to go for now.) You may also find flights that go into Gatwick or Stansted. Continental has nonstops from Newark to all over the UK, for example (we flew into Manchester, and I know they go to Bristol, too), but you may then get killed on the rail fares.
You do know it's $2 to the pound, and things that cost a buck here cost a pound there? You're going to hemorrage money.
