I loved it. It's worth noting that the Lounge has been completely refurbished and just reopened, and I like what they have done. It's a long, skinny type layout, so half the lounge looks over the interior gate area where the trains are, it's absolutely a decent sight for those that pick seating on this side. The other side looks over the jetway area to the main terminal, also a great view. Seating was comfortable, good working areas for laptops, and electrical outlets. Typical top notch food and drink. Highly recommended.

This lounge is truly a gem. It offers stunning views of the concourse and the gates hallway. Since we were flying Qatar Airways, a member of the One World alliance, we decided to skip the Turkish Airlines lounge that we were initially directed to and check this one out instead. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed at the entrance and received courteous service throughout our visit.

The lounge features an impressive selection of food and beverages. I particularly enjoyed the salads and the cauliflower soup. However, the English egg salad sandwich was a bit disappointing, as the bread was dry. On the bright side, the coffee and the deserts was exceptional.

We were fortunate that the lounge was almost empty, which allowed us to relax in the living room-style seating. I hope to return in the future.

Absolutely horrendous lounge experience! BA lounge closed which should be reflected on Google as says it is open. Told that we could use Lufthansa lounge. Actually, not 100% accurate given they shove you to a different cramped room. BA shouldn’t have bothered and if you have paid good dollars for a ticket or to achieve status with one world alliance it’s unacceptable! Photos show the room provided for BA and the stairs to the actual lounge downstairs for Lufthansa only. No food really and no coffee that I could find.

Don’t allow domestic passengers in regardless of status, violating the OneWorld lounge access rules.

This lounge doesn’t follow the OneWorld rules. If you’re flying domestically it doesn’t matter what status you have, they won’t let you in.

The black guy at the post was very unfriendly and stopped me even if I am eligible to access.

The food quality can vary from excellent to poor depending on the day, but the variety is almost always subpar for a business class lounge. There's usually only one or two mains on the buffet alongside salads and some vegetable options. You can order burgers/drinks to your table from your phone, but the system is unreliable at best. I've also never seen the showers have any availability in the evenings. Iberia, Aer Lingus, and BA all use this lounge so it can get pretty busy in the evenings as their flights are all departing. If you have OneWorld status but also have a credit card with a dedicated lounge it may be worth going there instead.

An excellent experience in the new first class dining area. The food was great with a good selection of light dishes to still leave room for meals onboard your flight. Plenty of drinks that just kept on flowing. Betty was wonderful and a real credit to British always with her service with a smile.

Very good although some of it was reserved for the Arsenal Women's football team.

The lounge got cleared out after a flight left and there is a staff member blaring videos on their phone. So it’s British pop on the speaker, and loud trap music attempting to drown that out.
Food is good. Service is good. It’s clean. Staff we encountered were pleasant and friendly.

Vegetarian options: They have food clearly labeled as vegan or vegetarian.

This is a very nice airline lounge. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The food is lovely and the wine selection is much better than many clubs that I have visited. There is ample seating and many private areas to work and relax. They were even kind enough to set up the Euro Cup on one of the televisions for us.

Even though I am a one world emerald member and a platinum pro with membership to the AA lounges unless you are flying international they will not let you in. We were flying 1st domestically. This is their eligibility policy from their website. An Emerald member of any of the oneworld airline frequent flyer programmes on a scheduled flight operated by British Airways or one of our oneworld partners.

This review is specifically for the private dining area within the lounge: decor is tacky and cheap looking. Stains on the still water bottle and placemats. We were at a table with two place settings, one was missing the roll dish. We order an appetizer and specifically stated we were going to split it, another plate was not brought out. We ordered two of their three "specialty" cocktails, but they were out of the ingredients for one of them (the ingredient they were missing was bourbon...). Ordered one of the other ones, tasted weird, turns out it was NA. Nowhere on the menu was that stated. Food was all very bland, burger was overcooked. Bathroom had not been cleaned in hours, trash on the floor, water and other liquids pooling. Basically, there was just a severe lack of attention to detail. These dining areas were touted in multiple marketing materials, but they do not meet even basic expectations.
