Arrival lounge in LHR
I'll be arriving in LHR with BA on an international flight. Are there any arrival lounges to take a shower at possibly?
i have no oneworld status but I'll be traveling business class.
thanks in advance.

If you're flying in long haul business class (aka Club World), then the answer is yes - as long as your flight arrives early enough for you to get to the arrivals lounge before the closing time of 2pm.
Depending on whether you land at or terminal 5 (which is the majority of BA flights) or terminal 3, you will have access to either the BA arrivals lounge or the AA arrivals lounge respectively.
A bit more info is available here http://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/...rivals-lounges
Hope that's useful - and have a safe flight!

I like to use the lounge when when I arrive from SIN at 5 am and usually arrange a pickup at 7 to go straight to work.
The entry criteria:
travel on a flight operated by BA and a BA flight number.
travel in First of Club World or have a BA Gold card.

Then it's terminal 5.
As others have noted, it does close at 14:00 and things start packing up well before that, so don't hang around en route to the lounge. Once you clear to landside, look for the bright orange painted section of the superstructure and head for the lifts there to go up to the lounge.
