Other airlines have back up plans and are using SEN and STN, why is not BA city flyer?

I would have thought nearly all destinations from LCY are also flown from LHR or LGW (I know Isle of Man isn't, but can't think of many others). Perhaps BA has capacity to accommodate passengers on those flights, and that is their back-up plan?

Also at least one BA flight did go from SEN this morning.
