He can't justify a 4 hour or so leaving the terminal and just get some work done instead....

Thanks....

No, he cannot stay airside, and the Flagship Lounge closes by 11:45pm (right after the last departure to LHR). Thereafter, the Terminal 8 secure area shuts down until about 4:30am (or whenever the TSA checkpoint re-opens). Security patrols are regular, and any passenger who loiters airside after the last flight departure will be asked to leave the area by contract security personnel.

However, Terminal 4 has 24-hour passenger facilities located landside that include restaurants.
