CW is a cabin of service on BA operated flights, you have flown longhaul business class on IB.
I think I will seek access as it really would be helpful not to have to go home to shower and change before getting on with my work.
I'd encourage you to try - NOT because I think you will get in, you won't
And NOT becasue I think (under the current rules) you are entitled, I think you are clearly not.
But rather becasue if IAG are serious about MAD as a hub connection point, you are going to have longhaul arriving passengers into LHR that have done a quick connect in MAD on the way back.
The other interesting thing about this trip is whether IB can manage to transfer from an 0740 arrival and an 0850 departure....
Assuming BA metal MAD-LHR, I'd expect them to manage it.
