Yep another vote for the Premier Inn if you are out of the North Terminal, great value for money. Cheap (#60), cheerful & comfortable rooms. Buffet breakfast is half decent too.
South terminal Bloc is great. Dump bags night before, couple of drinks & bite to eat in the Weatherspoons, bed, then right next to fast track security in the morning.
I'll take either option for a morning flight out of LGW
