AFAIK the T5 lounge doesn't have showers; they're not mentioned here: https://www.plaza-network.com/locati...il?city=London [whereas they are for the lounges in T4 arrivals or T2, for example...]

One of the comments on this review mention that showers are paid for Amex Plat. Seems strange as T4 Plaza Premium(which takes Priority Pass also) has free showers.

They're extra. Stopped by a couple of weeks ago and I believe it was 20 pounds for a shower ( I have a HK HSBC card that gives acess) just the shower was an extra charge which I pointed out at the time was weird as T4 arrivals is free. Promptly went upstairs to the BA lounge after having a hot brekkie in Plaza Premium for a free shower

I'm in there now thanks to my Amex Platinum. Very nice and not too busy. They've got a very tasty veggie curry on... and 1st anniversary cup cakes.
I'll be shifting upstairs to the North BA lounge at some point to compare and contrast.
Great views of the north runway take offs to the west.

This is just to confirm that whilst many Plaza Premium lounges are leaving the Priority Pass network from 1 July, the T5 one doesn't seem to be. All the other LHR Plaza lounges in T2/3/4 are on the list though.

Currently the T5 PP is closed, but the Aspire at the south end of the terminal is open.
