UK visa valid date and depart/arriving date

I'm now holding the Chinese passport and studying in Canada. I bought a ticket departing on June 23rd and arrive on June 24th in London, UK. However, my visa begin to valid on June 25th. Can I stay at the airport for more than 10 hours and enter the UK after my visa begin to be valid?

If that won't work, can I buy a ticket leaving on June 24th and arrive on June 25th in UK? I'm afraid I might not be able to get on the plane since my visa is not valid when I departing from Toronto.

Thanks for help!
