Early in the morning it’s not too crowded and the light is amazing! And if you need an early celebratory glass of bubbles, they hide the champagne but you can still get some if you ask.

North lounge is a lot easier to get to, but because of this it is usually busier - especially for early business flights. For breakfast the bacon rolls are very good.

You step off the plane after 11 hours cramped into a small seat. Thankfully, you've flown enough hours in small seats that you've earned the privilege of a bowl of soup, a snack, WiFi, and seating.

The “secret” area beyond the glass - right hand side - where there are usb and UK plug power points; otherwise scarcely one in the lounge.

It miss more variety in the food menu. Free wifi, plenty of comfortable places and many many many drinks from all kinds. It lacks any kind of entertainment also.

Head straight for the sofa area at the back and don't even bother with the area near the food - very busy - grab the wireless password from the counter as you pass

Compared to American lounges, this feels like an IKEA food court. Can’t complain about free but I was surprised this lounge was half the quality of the BA lounge at IAD.

Huge and crowded most of the times. Good selection of hot food and wines. Not all seats are comfortable for long staying.

A lot more crowded that the BA South Lounge Galleries but a nice change and the runway view is fantastic. Be prepared to jostle for a seat though.

If relaxation is required stay away from the sofas near the toilets. People moving chairs back & forth by dragging them along the floor was just infuriating. Softer floor coverings are needed.

Perfect lounge Area great selection of wine which make it rather easy to miss the flight

Looks like the powers that be have heeded to popular opinion and changed the menu around after a long time. The fruit salad is now served on the centre servery, not by the wall. Transformational!

Sometimes quite busy but not bad. Good selection of drinks and warm food throughout the day. Don’t miss the 🥓 roll

Great food options in the morning - croissants, pain au chocolate, rolls, bacon, fruit, yogurt, porridge, and cereal. Wifi is too slow and not enough power ports.

Really nice lounge. Staff are really helpful and friendly. Good choice of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and snacks.

Definitely a lack of wall plugs but it's the more relaxed and calmer lounge of the two. Also great views for plane spotting.

Got here around 11am on a Tuesday. It was like a cross between a homeless shelter and a sauna. People sleeping everywhere and it's about 90°c. Also, power sockets didn't work and tables were dirty 👎

Sit outside in the atrium area... The atmosphere and seating is more comfortable and accomodating for transatlantic passengers to rest & relax. (Wifi password for Feb is "executiveclub".)

Nice lounge but always too crowded when I visit. South lounge may be quieter, but at least the North lounge has more daylight
Mark AApril 6, 2015
Great wifi connection. Good seating area with some seats in a more quite zone. Food is okay. But I rather spend my hours here than in the airport terminal waiting for my flight.

Excellent views of the northern runaway 09L - if you're a fellow plane geek. 🤓✈️
Fat BoyJanuary 2, 2018
Undoubtedly the best lounge I ever have visited. This is the BA flagship of lounges.
Daryoush MSeptember 13, 2019
Moroccan meatballs they have here are delicious. The wireless charger for iPhone is great.

Enjoy a cold soda the Neth way. Pour your beverage into the chilled glasses are near the food bar and drinking straws are at the rear drinking station.

Bacon Roll Challenge - New rule. If you see someone from this list that has given out the wifi password in the lounge you can throw a roll at them. Each hit counts to the challenge ;)
John LaputzApril 21, 2013
If you have a connecting flight, stop in here to take a shower. You will feel refreshed and ready for your next leg of your journey.

Portobello mushroom with tomato sandwich. Put lotsa marmite and tobacco (taken from the cocktail section)

Bacon rolls on top form; bigger less crunchy granary roll with plenty of crispy bacon; yum!
Artur RodriguesJuly 19, 2016
Nice amenities but very crowded at times. Pay attention to your flight status as there are no announcements.
Lauren KaminskiApril 18, 2012
Showers Suites are so convenient and what a great way to feel refreshed after an overnight flight. If only you could book a bed to take a nap while waiting for connections
Elizabeth De La HayeJuly 7, 2022
Good selection of food and drink, no desserts or sweet items. Very large area which became rather noisy after a while.

Bacon roll challenge - a new PB at 7. New rule, each roll must have 2 slices of bacon ;)
Rachel HolbrookJanuary 16, 2013
Show your boarding card in the North Lounge for the showers. Perfect after a long haul flight whilst waiting for your next connection!

Showers are typically packed, and a waiting time of 30 mins approx, but good after a long night flight
Kathryn WilliamsFebruary 24, 2014
Does the challenge still count if gluten free so snaffled 5 bacon rolls and just are the bacon?

Ba have changed the food, and have ruined it... No bacon Sarnie for breakfast.. Toast and croissants... Is that the best they can do?

Bacon roll challenge fail...only two because buns were a little stale. Aiming for a new record next visit!
David KelhamJuly 17, 2019
Very busy. Don’t expect a relaxing experience.
Stephan DahlDecember 17, 2015
At least finally a place that is worse to be inside than outside... Grab a nice meal in one of the restaurants.

Come early or else u have to fight for the few spoons, forks and milk that is there (or not there)

There are lots of plugs at the end of the room in the entertainment area.

New catering just awful. Only sandwiches & cakes. If you're gluten free, only option down to chips (salted only) or fruit which tends to run out.
Fraser BoydAugust 11, 2013
Sky Sports channels are available on the tellies around the lounge. You have to change them manually, though.

WiFi is ok . Password at the bottom of the flight information screens
Thomas BergeMarch 19, 2012
Good selection of wines. Sample and pick your favourite among 5-6 whites and reds
Matt SwichAugust 23, 2012
Nice couch but f***ing kids. Feels like being in a kinder garden rather than a business lounge. Without mentioning the usual London crowd dressed in black.
Paul LewandowskiNovember 6, 2017
W O W ! Do not miss this place if your flying BA and have an extended layover.
Sarah HMay 25, 2014
Love the beetroot and pumpkin seed salad
Mark LeeSeptember 6, 2020
The elusive power points mentioned in my other post.
T.May 25, 2016
There are some vegan biscuits and nuts etc. but when we asked about other vegan foods, like warm meals, the lounge waiter told us it's not his fault that we don't eat meat. How rude! Shame on you.
