I would think so.But if you arr and dep from the same Airport in England you would be taken to a controlled zone.

you should qualify, but uk is very strict. they check passports for people who are in transit, but i dont know if you need a transit visa. i have also seen people change planes and only show their boarding pass for the next destination.

No, you'll get authorization to transit on arrival by the UK Border Agency Officer. Your Italian residence permit (Carta di soggiorno) and the US tourist visa (B2) will qualify you for transit between different London airports; the same will apply for your return flight.

yes, you definatly need transit visa if you trravling via UK. Airline will not let you fly without valid UK transit visa.
If you can not get that then change your schedule try to fly via europe.
