Can anyone confirm the extent to which legroom is affected by the escape slide housing on 777's. I'm flying with Continental LGW-EWR so just need to get some idea of whether the escape slides at row 32 are going to make the trip significantly less comfortable.

Thanks .... or "Fanks" if you're from Essex

This is a seat map of the aircraft. I've sat in the same place, but on Thai Air, and it was only 2 across, not three. Was only a slight nuisance. Looks to me like 16J would be better. Or maybe 2K.

It really depends on the airlines individual config and whether they place their seats right up to the edge of the door or if there is a bit of room.
The BA 777's still have a fair bit of space at the bustle and you can even comfortably stretch your leg out on top of it if you like!!!
