If booked through a travel agent –
* You shouldn’t skip the last leg, as the agent can be penalised and may ask you to pay them
If you are carry-on baggage only –
* Yes, jump out when you want. You won’t earn anything on the final leg, and don’t do it too often (they may come after you if it’s a regular thing)
If you have checked baggage –
* Fly into Heathrow, with your connection out of LGW or LCY. Don’t take the connection. If your connection is LHR>LHR you will have a fight on your hands to get your bag back
