Line up when ATC tells you and be ready, vacate runway at highspeed turnoff at highspeed, don't panic when you haven't had a landing clearance by 200ft RA. Don't panic when they line you up with traffic at 3-2Nm on final.
Don't block tower frequency: checkin on arrival is callsign only, checkin for departure is non-existent (monitor tower frequency!!!).
B757 is considered a medium aircraft for wake-turbulence in LGW. I think they also can use 2.5NM spacing on final, mostly gaps are bigger to alternate depatures and arrivals.
And obviously fly ATC assigned speeds.

Also ATC have the ability to give conditional landing clearance, when crew on final call visual with departing traffic.
