How is this best accomplished? Do we get all our luggage and take it to the lounge and then exit security and go to left luggage after breakfast? How long should we anticipate from the time we land to the time we make it to the lounge (so we can figure out when to have the cab meet us)? Where is the best place to meet the cab? Thanks for any advice.

The BA Arrivals lounge is outside of passport control and baggage claim. The Galleries lounges are airside and you cannot access them unless you have a connecting flight.
