Long layover in London

We're considering a flight from Dallas to Athens, Greece, that has a 14 hour layover in London. We'd like to leave Heathrow and spend some time in London during the layover. Our question is--can we check our luggage all the way through to Athens (British Airways), or will we need to claim it, to through customs, and then re-check it? If the latter, can we re-check it immediately? We'd prefer not having to find some place at the airport to store it while we are in London. We don't mind storing our carry-ons, but it might be a pain to store larger bags.

If both your flights are on BA, you will be able to through check your bags and thus have time to enjoy London.
