    do you have a visa? I.e. will you be in transit only, or will you be able to clear customs?

As you have a landside transit visa, this is easy - yes, you can.

A friend of mine recently blogged about spending 24 hours in Heathrow (he got the wrong day for his flight), and he had no problems, and was certainly not alone.

It's worth noting, however, that SleepingInAirports gives it a poor review, and you may find it easier to grab a hotel, either one of the airport ones, or even one in town (Earl's court is only an hour away).

    From the airport, just hop on the tube (underground trains) straight to central London. See this question for examples of how to do this.
