Slightly scary but all ok. Just waiting for EUXE to be inspected before returning to LHR, I hope. The gate area is C1 so the lounge upstairs is easier. It's small but pleasant enough. The bigger lounge is downstairs where I am currently...the only major difference I can see apart from size is the drought larger downstairs (and the smoking room) and a fresh orange machine upstairs. The food is identical and just appears to have pastries/muffins/crisps/nuts etc.
Upshot; the lounge upstairs is better in my opinion as is smoke free and right behind the gate area. Neither are too far though.
