At a glance
One of eight lounges in Terminal 5, ranking 2nd among them. A satellite club with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and showers worth building a layover around. It seats around 250, runs a full bar, and has two shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 5:30 AM – 10:30 PM daily. Opened in 2008 and refreshed in 2023, so it doesn't feel its age. Among the best lounges we track: worth a longer connection. Recorded access options include Galleries Lounge and oneworld Sapphire/Emerald Lounge Access. Entry conditions and availability apply.
