Why quiet decides the pick at LHR
London Heathrow has 38 lounges in our directory and 38 of them are photographed and scored on peace and quiet. Quiet scores reward lounges with low ambient noise, no blaring televisions and enough separation from the boarding-call speakers to actually rest. This ranking sorts those 38 by their quiet score alone, with the overall rating breaking ties, so a lounge that is merely fine everywhere else can still win here.
