Fair enough. You seem like an informed traveler and took things into your own hands when you really shouldn't have had to. Glad it worked out for you.
I hope you followed up and were given the 200% of what the value of the segment was you missed. As far as Delta knew, you didn't get to London when you were supposed to. I believe it is a 4 hour window that DL has to get you there. Leaving the next morning for an involuntarily bumped passenger does not sound like they got you there within 4 hours. This rule/law, whatver it is, is so rarely used that I never had to deal with it in my career. Anyway, it sounds like BA really came through and hope all went well in London.
