Prague would not be the best choice for BA in Central Europe out of LCY, as it does not offer any onward connectional opportunities for them.

LCY already handles quite an amount of such traffic, but it is all scooped up by Lufthansa and Swiss through their own hubs.
Prague would be a better destination out of LCY for CityJet/Air France, as they in turn could offer connections on fellow SkyTeam carrier CSA. Prague, for BA and for OneWorld, is effectively a dead end. As far as leisure traffic to Prague is concerned, much of this is more Stansted-pricing oriented, and the Stag Weekends there appear to have peaked - doubtless much to the relief of the Czechs !
