Depends on which later flight you are on - they may get a seat for you on another carrier leaving a few hours/minutes later.
Your checked luggage will have been labelled straight through to London so again, it depends on which later flight you are on. If it's an overnight stay they'll usually want you to collect your luggage and check in again next day. I say 'usually' because Sri Lankan once shipped us off to a hotel sans luggage for a 5 hour overnighter.
I don't know how this fits with safety regs but I've also had the situation where luggage made the connecting flight but we didn't.
In your case, if your first flight is delayed for less than about 15min I'd expect them to hold your connecting flight at the gate and make time up en-route. If that happens, as you enter the aircraft sweating and panting, just be prepared for the groans and glares from other passengers already seated and impatient to get going.
