The only issue I experienced from LGW was an ATC delay due to the reported staffing issues.

The primary difference you'll notice is a different catering supplier but the food has always been ok and occasionally a nice change from whatever the current LHR menu is.

The first lounge whilst not up to the CCR standards as you'll be used to as GGL is still far, far superior to the F lounge in LHR.
