A United Kingdom visa application filed from Hong Kong normally has to show confirmed onward or return travel. Your reservation on this route is issued against a real Cathay Pacific schedule with a live PNR, so the booking reference can be checked on the airline's own "manage booking" page and by the consulate handling your file. Because HKG–LHR is usually a connecting itinerary, every leg appears on the document with its own flight number and times, which is what visa officers expect to see for a multi-sector journey.
