    The Amex Centurion lounge at T3 in Heathrow is so tiny and even uncomfortably so when it’s busy. Can only hope that the T5 Centurion lounge doesn’t turn out the same way as the T3 one in that regard.

    The Amex Centurion Lounge in Heathrow T3. Beautiful space. Good food. No natural light whatsoever. And a bar open at 5:30am. Is it worth visiting? Depends what else you can access. www.pointswellmade.co.uk/post/america...

    .... or go to an empty gate area or some other low traffic corner at the airport. I was at the Centurion Lounge at London Heathrow several days ago. While the food and drinks were acceptable, there was a lot left to be desired between it being rather crowded and sort of uncomfortable seating for me.
