Thessaloniki, Perpignan, Trieste, Skopje, Gdansk, Salzburg, Leipzig, Vilnius, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Ljubljana, Stavanger are the European destinations I can think of that they've cut.
Internationally there are Baltimore, Santiago, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, San Juan, San Jose(CR), Havana, Cancun, Pittsburgh, Abidjan, Gaborone, Durban(now served internally in SA not direct from London), Islamabad, Adelaide, Taipei, Kano.
There are bound to be more I just can't think of them right now!

Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka and Anchorage were all served in the 90s.
Now no longer.
Closer to home, the Internal German Services (IGS) serving Berlin from Munster, Cologne, Hannover and I think Bremen and Hamburg disappeared with the reunification of Germany.
And further away, New Zealand was served, both Auckland and Christchurch via Oz and that died some years ago. Yeah, BA012: CHC-AKL-PER-SIN-BAH-LHR was the route.

BA had a daily JFK-LGW flight. It inherited it when BA acquired British Caledonian. It operated initially with a 747-100/200, then a DC10-30, then an L1011, and then it settled as a 767-300ER before it was yanked after 09/11.

Anyone mention Panama City? Not only did they fly there (with 747s), they came so close to crashing there that the jumbo landed at Panama with branches and twigs in the landing gear.

Surprisingly, nobody mentioned Port of Spain, Trinidad, which BOAC then BA served for many years. POS was ultimately served twice weekly via BGI with 747 Classics until 1994 when BA axed the service due to low demand and yield. BA subsequently started serving TAB in 1998 but, despite several rumours, has never returned to POS.
TrintoCan.
ps. KIN remains a BA destination - it was MBJ which was stopped.
I have left out destinations that are no longer operated by a British Airways aircraft, but are still served from the UK by a British Airways branded-service operated by another airline. For example, British Airways flights to Tunis are now operated by GB Airways.
There are many more places that BA have served, especially in the prop and early-jet eras when there were a huge number of multi-stop services operating via some pretty obscure places long since gone from the major long-haul airlines' networks...

31 Edina: BHX-JFK was initially served with the 767 & latterly the 757. DC10's were only ever used on routes to/from LGW. Since the takeover of BCal LGW DC10 ro
