I'm a Tunisian citizen with a valid Italian resident permit. I will be traveling from France to Iceland and I have to change both airline and airport in London, layover is 7 hours (between 7am to 3pm) in London. I'm curious if I need a transit Visa ?

Thank you in advance!

Airport changes require you to go through immigration control. In fact, you will spend significant time travelling around London.

So yes, you will need a transit Visa.

Check your details at https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa

I don't think the Italian Residence card makes much of a different here. You are a EU resident but not an EU citizen and you will still need to travel with your Tunisian passport.

FYI: this is not a great itinerary. Changing airports in London is inconvenient, time consuming and expensive.
