Natalia, you itinerary will be covered by 24 hour visa free transit and you do not need any kind of visa.

At the time of your check-in in London, you will declare that you are traveling to Bangkok using 24 hour visa free transit and you will present your flight tickets to support that. After a short check, you will be allowed to board the plane.

Upon your landing in Chengdu, the first thing you will do is to approach 24/144 hour visa free transit counter where you will apply for a temporary entry permit by presenting your flight tickets. After a short check, your permit will be granted and then you will head to the immigration. You will formally enter China and then you will go to collect your luggage and to perform new check-in for your flight to Bangkok.

As you can see, you do not need any kind of visa, but just have with you your flight tickets, ready to be presented as a proof of your transit intention. Have a nice journey.
