Here now. Huge improvement on the previous lounge in the North terminal.
Those tiny bacon rolls are actually very decent. Lounge fairly busy but lots of open seats away from the windows. Mezzanine level empty (just 3 pax at 9am).
Didn't take the short cut after security as we wanted some duty free.

I'm flying LGW next week so looking forward to checking the lounge out (albeit briefly, I'm on a rather early flight)

Also worth bearing in mind this is LGW's busiest weekend with some 116,000 pax expected today. Obviously these aren't all BA but the place is going to working at full tilt all weekend ( Sunday is the worst & when I next fly so thank god for the OH & her ability to pull strings there)
