On the other hand, Gatwick isn't exactly a back water. I've flown to Toronto and the Seychelles via Gatwick before. We live between the two so it often comes down to flight times rather than airport.

Indeed, it has many routes, but it tends to skew towards leisure destinations. Also, Heathrow has the vast majority of the premium demand, so, for example, airlines that have aircraft with a First[0] cabin will schedule those aircraft to Heathrow and not Gatwick. It might seem strange to be discussing premium demand in the context of connections from Accra, but the toy-spitting that happened when BA tried to move the flights to Gatwick was coming from high-ranking politicians — who are certainly not flying in economy.
