This is how LP pax are treated in this lounge which is a total shame
. You're lucky if the lounge is empty because every time I go it's packed.
The private VIP room you are referring to was on the upper floor of the former Skyteam lounge, and it's been reported recently that this floor will become a Saudia lounge. So it's not accessible anymore. In any case, this room was nothing special apart being out of the crowd. But there was no special catering or services of any kind as far as I remember. Overall the LP experience from LHR had nothing to write home about, but is even worse now with a very mediocre lounge experience in the middle of off the lounge pass holders.
I've seen recently that it's still the case for LP customers (not one myself, but I've seen that sign on the tables).
One recent change to the lounge (went there mid-July) was that it should now be reserved only for airline status/class-related passengers. I was travelling with a friend who had Priority Pass, and we were redirected to their sister lounge Blush.
