Just to put in a link to today's Business Traveller article on the new Lounge (somewhat behind the curve, I would suggest):

The link covers both lounges, but the photos are from the Club lounge. One detail I will extract here, since I don't think this has been covered elsewhere yet:

It’s not all British, though. The bar stools and table lamps are by Philippe Starck, there is pendant lighting by Moooi (Dutch), Porcelanosa tiling from Spain and Italian Carrara marble. Art works are by Sir Terry Frost, Chris Ofili and John Hoyland.
