The big problem is that most OW flights depart from T2 while you will be departing from T1.
The BA and CX lounges are nothing to write home about as others have said, but I don't think they are bad either. They are furnished rooms to hang out with some drinks and some food. CX has better food that BA.
I actually prefer the JL lounge. The agents will give you this funny look when you want to come in but it is usually quite nice. Again, nothing to write home about.
The other problem you will phase are opening hours. Those lounges are only open for certain flights and act as contract lounges for other carriers during other times. So depending on your departure you might not get any access.
