I've a trip to Europe and will transit in LHR with BA for a 4 hrs layover. Is it possible for me to visit the lounge in T3 and how? Does it worth the effort? Cheers

Since the BA forumites seem intent on global domination, I shall also add my greetings to you
Layman, welcome to Flyertalk, and welcome also to the Cathay Pacific forum. Please continue to participate here.
The other point is that this lounge is the designated lounge for Finnair. The soft opening at the moment also means they are not promoting the lounge to Finnair passengers this week (but they are welcome to use it). So if you are able to construct a routing that involves Finnair, that's the other way into the lounge. Some of the BA routes are very short, notably HAJ (Hannover) and LUX (Luxembourg). The latter is airborne for barely 40 minutes, and both locations are possible as a back-to-back trip.
