I know similar questions have been asked before (including by me), but given the specifics of this Concorde Bar, with a BA First flight from KUL later in the day, and a Malaysian flight from Singapore to get us there (separate tickets), what do you think the odds of being given the code are? (Would through checking bags strengthen that chance?). Cheers.

Perhaps someone who has been to this new lounge can answer - are they scanning all boarding passes? Some lounges don't bother if the ticket is on their own airline and just give a cursory look at the class to ensure eligibility. In that case, if you print your boarding pass in advance, all you will have at first glance is a BA boarding pass with F and LHR as the destination printed on it.
It's actually a good question because SIN is not an App boarding pass location, so if transferring you can check-in online (PC or App) and then ask the podium to print out the traditional printed boarding pass - they have the requisite printer there.

There is more about the new lounge in this month's issue of The Club. Photos 5 and 6 at the end are from the Concorde Bar - and rather better lit pictures than anything I could manage to take.

The face-to-face sofa seating by the window looks similar in design and aesthetics to the SilverKris Lounge at Changi T3.

Do outstation Concorde branded lounges have the same rules as the CCR in relation to same day arrival F boarding passes? I'll be arriving in F on BA11 before departing same day to SYD on BA15 in J - will my BA11 BP allow me access to the CCB or is it only for onwards flights in F?

We visited here last month. It did get busy just before the evening LHR departures, but never appeared too crowded.
There was a good selection of food and drinks available, which were regularly topped up.
Didn't get into the Concorde bar which looks like it has a pin entry system?
Overall a very nice experience!

Having been sat in the Concorde Bar lounge for about an hour, it feels more like a library than anything else.
The atmosphere is one of silence, and I felt guilty when I was on the phone (so much so that I actually finished my call in the main lounge!).
The main lounge is very pleasant, and there seems to be ample seating. It's a shame the food isn't better, but I suppose one can't have everything!
Oh, and hello to the chap checking FT on his laptop in the main lounge.
