BA Lounge Database | United Kingdom
i Preface
Welcome to the UK edition of the BA Lounge Database. This thread contains details of all the lounges currently available to BA passengers with the UK, and surrounding islands. Each lounge card contains basic reference information plus a background image, carefully selected to provide you with a flavour of what's in store at each location. Links to comprehensive member reviews, pictorial, and discussion threads covering individual lounges will be added in due course.
Note: The lounge information contained in the lounge cards reflects the amenities prior to the pandemic. The database will be re-built in due course but please be advised much of the offerings have now changed
Please note while best efforts are taken to keep abreast of the opening hours listed in this thread (and on the oneworld lounge site), lounge opening times are subject to routine changes. At outstations, the hours of opening at BA operated lounges are reliably adjusted to align with BA’s flight schedules.
For full information on lounge access eligibility, we have a separate thread covering that: BA lounge access guidelines. All the information you need is contained there.
Note:
- Alaska Airlines MVP Gold and MVP Gold 75K members, plus one guest also have access to the BA Galleries Club lounges at London Heathrow Terminals 3 and 5 when holding a current day ticket/boarding pass with at least one BA operated international flight segment
- Aer Lingus AerClub Concierge and Platinum members also have access to the BA Galleries Club lounges at London Heathrow Terminals 3 and 5 when travelling onwards on a through-ticket with British Airways. This means that your ticket must have an Aer Lingus and British Airways flight on the same ticket/booking

This thread has been rebooted and updated to reflect the introduction of Club Europe on UK domestic services. The lounge slides have also been modified slightly for visual clarity.
The previous thread has now been archived but it still contains plenty of reviews and photographs, which can find here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/briti...d-kingdom.html

Not sure if this is the right place but, in case people don't know, the ABZ lounge shuts a week tomorrow - i.e. Sat 29th July. After that date, I'm not entirely sure what the arrangements are going to be. The lovely guy in the lounge asked what card I had and when I said Gold, he told me that I would get to go to the brand new lounge - the Northern Lights Lounge. Whether there are different arrangements for Silvers, I'm not too sure.
Unfortunately all of the lovely staff in ABZ lounge are being made redundant until the new BA lounge opens next May.

BHX is the Aspire Lounge for J pax. Closes at 21:00 for all pax apart from those flying BA who may stay until 22:00. Regardless of delay you will get thrown out at 10pm. A few BA Y pax who (I assume) used Priority Pass or other card, could stay.
