This gives the lounges options available for BA passengers departing from LHR T3. If you flight is departing from T3 you will not have access to the T5 lounges - including Concorde Room - since you must have a same-day T5 boarding pass to get airside in T5. If your flight is from T3, then you need to use the T3 lounges, your boarding pass will not work in T5. As it happens there is a good range of lounges available in T3, details below.
For breakfast options for BA Gold / Emerald / First travellers, there is a photo guide in post 291, click here. Note the Qantas lounge only opens at 08:00 hrs.

Flying out of T3 tomorrow morning with a colleague, and he is very keen to get the best possible Full English. I'm in all the lounges frequently, but I rarely fly in the morning and therefore have no idea which one has the best Full English?
Any input would be appreciated
Edit: Sorry I didn't specify, but this is in the context of first lounges. So, between BA F, CX F, AA F, and QF.

Which part of the cx lounge!
My husband and I are flying first in a couple of weeks. I love the sound of the noodle bar in the cx lounge but I know it’s in the business class area...for the best noodles & service is it better to skip the first lounge and head straight for the noodles?

You can order the same noodles from the CX J lounge to be served at your table at the F lounge. Personally I prefer to help myself from the J lounge because it takes longer to be brought over to the F lounge, where the noodles are soaked longer in the broth and no longer "al dente".

If you're actually flying CX it will be busy so perhaps ask if it's OK beforehand.
You can of course go to the business side if you want but just before the CX flights, well, it will prepare you for Hong Kong
Be aware the portion sizes are not that big - I can still gobble down 3 bowls of noodles even after 3 courses from the first menu, at least when I'm in Y and don't want to eat on board.

I was also nearly certain the noodles are available whenever the lounge is open, but I must admit noodles will never feature in the CWS breakfast (and I was there today) hence my slight hesitance to contradict. I think there aren't so many kitchen staff visible in the early morning but my suspicion is they can do the noodles on request in the usual way.

I've had noodles in there before an 08:30 departure, and we probably got there at about 07:00.
Looking forward to trying the QF lounge for the first time this morning, then back over to CX (sadly no F access today!) for noodles and a Cathay Delight.
