T2 LHR lounges
Hi - I'll be transiting LHR T2 from United to Ethiopian flights. Being 1K (traveling economy) can I access all the *A lounges, and do any have any quiet rooms for a couple of hour sleep? Thanks!

Some reviews and comparisons of the SQ/LH/UA/AC lounges in the terminal:

Showers
Arriving from a trans-Atlantic flight and hoping have a shower before hopping over to the continent. From what I've read, the UA lounge has showers, as well as the Plaza Premium lounge. LH does not. Does anyone know the shower availability at the other lounges? Basically I'm looking for a recommendation on where to best freshen up after a long flight. Thanks!

Just visited LHR's 4 lounges. In terms of food SQ just barely beats UC depending on your food preferences. I'd be happy with either. AC is quite a bit behind. UC has a better physical lounge than SQ which is ahead of AC. LH has a very good looking lounge as well, unfortunately I was there when the kitchen was getting modeled so no food to review.

It is possible at LHR to go through connections security with a BP for later in the day, visit a lounge for shower/breakfast, and then "escape" back down to arrivals to enter the UK for a few hours? Won't have arrivals lounge access.

Technically possible but a bureaucratic headache getting yourself 'landed' in the airport system and escorted to immigration. Not worth it
You can pay for the Plaza Premium arrivals lounge

United's lounge it top notch, pretty much full English breakfast available.
It's a shame that it's so far from the gates used for EU flights, but perfect for you since you're on Air Canada.

Having recently tried SQ's new LHR T2 Lounge, I can say that UA's was much nicer. In general, I feel that SQ's ground game is weak... I've never been to a Silver Kris Lounge I really loved and was quite disappointed by their effort at LHR.
