Personally I don't find UA RCCs to be crowded anywhere but that's likely because they are so mediocre, many people just choose to hang out in restaurants.
Personally, I find the *A lounge at LHR to be far, far better than any UC I have ever visited - indeed there's no comparison. The food is far more plentiful, the decor is far less dreary and last century, the booze is free and there's no sultry barman getting in the way. And also, the restrooms work and have decent toiletries.

Having said that, it does get fairly busy (but not as busy as the Sen lounge at FRA, or the UC in LAX T7 or SFO Domestic, where I've been unable to find a seat sometimes.
