I think in the light of terrorism, expired passports might cause problems. Saying that, my brother managed a couple of years ago to enter and leave the UK on an expired British passport. On his return to Vienna, customs in the UK contacted customs in Vienna stating that he would be returning and did not have enough time to renew his passport. On entry to Austria, he was thoroughly questioned and once they saw he spoke German with an Austrian accent, they allowed him in.
Check online the passport office in London and see if you can find the answer there or even e-mail them.
