Bonjour.
Your designated Ballet Travelhead here.
Delta is inaugurating their JFK Gatwick nonstop service with really cheap fares - $305 r/t *with* all taxes from JFK-LGW and £160 all-inclusive from LGW-JFK. If you prefer to go business class it is a bargain at about $1000 r/t (before taxes)
Buy tickets at www.delta.com. I'm betting this sale will only last a few more days.
Allowable travel dates are Nov 16-Dec 14 and January 8-March 21
The Royal Ballet's season:

I'm thinking (if I can swing it, which may not be possible) of going either the week before Thanksgiving or the week of.
BRB is in London before these dates.
ENB is going Giselle in London Jan 10-13.

For the Londoners who never ever EVER visit us (wimps) - NYCB is in season.

So come here for a change. It's still a bargain.
