Separate note, the food offering on the buffet is pretty decent (lots of smoothies, fruit, pastries, yogurt/muesli), but do avail yourself of the made-to-order items from the kitchen as well -- full English, usually something with smoked salmon, sometimes avocado toast. You'll have to proactively flag down one of the servers to order, but this is what elevates the lounge from decent to very nice and many people don't realize.
