1st part - I think they are now. I am travelling to Belfast on BMI on Friday night and am hoping / expecting to be using the London Lounge with my BAEC status.
2nd part - good question. Presumably this will be part of the grand integration and presumably too there may be terminal changes for routes too.

The two bmi lounges are not oneworld lounges yet - they are just joint BA/BD lounges. When the integration is complete I guess they will become oneworld lounges.
As to longer term changes - I don't think BA want to remain in T1 long term, so I doubt there would be significant investment to the two BD lounges.

Interesting indeed.
T1 isn't in the long term plan as stated I would have thought. Hence, I think that as soon as they can BA will start to move things out of T1. Also it is now messy having flights scattered over 3 terminals, Much like the old T1/T4 and then Miami from T3.
I think that the lounge at T3 might not be that easy to expand. I suppose they could build another lounge and then say move the Flounge thereby expanding the J lounge. The other would be with a lot more flights would a CCR in T3 be required which would be nice and consistent for LHR.....

I know my own BA membership number, but not my mobile phone number.
