We are tragically flying in Club World on the way back from CPT in November. It’s a night flight. I would be grateful for any advice regarding seat selection. We are a couple. My priority is avoiding some kind of awkward stepping over situation with anyone but my girlfriend. I have very little experience flying club world, so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Screenshot of the available seats below - we are both BA Gold.
Edit: it is proving very tricky to amend this post on mobile. I wanted to say our priorities are a good nights sleep and not having to step over other passengers or having them step over us. Thank you!

Or alternatively in the mini cabin in row 11 (AB or JK) but in WTP just behind im sure theres bassinet seats which might but unlikely to cause an issue.
Personally I'd choose row 5.
There are pictures of the minicabin in the thread I've linked, somewhere!

Best window seat in updated 777 Club World cabin. Type 77M
Hi everyone thank you for the informative thread. I’m flying LHR to EWR on 6th Jan 23 and it has the new Club World suites. Type 77M.
My question, I love window seats, which seat offers the best window views?
6A or 7A?
I did fancy 5A but I see there is only one window. I’ve been trying to find a good review of the smaller cabin online / YouTube to no avail so if anyone knows of such a review I would be appreciative.
thank you again for your help.

Barring that not much difference on 6 or 7A apart from 7A is a bit closer to the galley.

My other half has and she had no complaints about 6A. The mini cabin is definitely the right choice in my opinion.

Bummer. Lhr-bos just been bumped from 777 cw suites to old style. 
. Where should I look for advice on best seats? Used to use seatguru, but I’m sure there is somewhere on here that helps? Thx

Check MMB and see the Wiki here to see what configuration type of 777 your on then post back here? Also, when is your flight? If it's ages away it could be changed again!
There's also the Seating Queries - Club World thread but there are many posts in here re best seats etc
Old style really isn't that bad and its a fairly 'short' long haul your on.
Ignore Seatguru completely.

Seat guru is completely useless now. For accurate placement of windows, galley and Toilets, aerolopa is excellent but no seat reviews.
If you know what subtype of the 777 you are flying on and if the wiki is no useful for exact info you are after, you can always come back here for advice.

Is there a reason why on some planes the seats show up as "angled"/"diagonal" in the app (e.g. facing towards/away from the isle), while others show up as straight? My flight just got changed to a 1-2-1 777 and in the app, all the seats are showing up as straight forward. Pretty sure this is just the normal new club suites though (the 4-class layout with the single seat in row 8)
If you are on old 777, the seat arrangement will be 2-4-2.

My flight is in early December, and definitely now moved to 2-4-2 . Fingers crossed it gets changed again! Will all the refurbs be done by then? Put myself into 11k ( rear facing beside window) but the cabin is completely empty. Thks for help.
