Departed EGLL on the GASGU 1J. Climbed to 6;000 feet. As we leveled off a drone went by the aircraft at close distance. Estimate drone altitude between 5;000-6;000 feet. Captain immediately reported event to ATC. No evasive maneuvering done to avoid drone.
Departed EGLL [Runway] 9R on the GASGU 1J SID. While level at 6;000 near OCK a drone went under us between 5;000-6;000 just off our left side. While I noticed its large size; the First Officer said it was blue in color. Reported the sighting to ATC and then later in cruise to Dispatch. No evasive maneuvering was done. FYI - in the Dispatcher remarks of the FP: 'CAPTAIN CALL DISPATCHER FOR BRIEFING REFERENCE DRONE ACTIVITY IN EGLL/LHR AREA'. Conversation with Dispatch over the phone I was told the drone activity was between 7-10 ft.
