Where to shower? HKG-LHR-AUS

Hello everyone,

Next week I am doing the above journey on two separate BA tickets (holiday straight into business trip), with a few hours to kill at Heathrow. Can anyone recommend a shower option? Don’t think BA Bronze will get me into anywhere but I do have Priority Pass through Amex.

Thanks!

Assuming you are not travelling Club World or First, your options are:

Priority Pass or cash - Aspire, you may want to pay the supplement to guarantee entry
Aspire Lounge and Spa: Paid for lounge in LHR T5 - Information, photographs, reviews

Amex Platinim or cash - Plaza Premium (the better lounge by far)
Aspire Lounge and Spa: Paid for lounge in LHR T5 - Information, photographs, reviews

General shower information (mainly BA related)
T5 showers

And then there is the Lounges Forum, with a guide to options in the other terminals at LHR, and you could consider a day room at some of the hotels near to T5.

There are also Yotel Cabins which are landside at T4 Standard Cabin | London Heathrow Hotel | YOTELAIR

Trying them for the first time on 12 Sept at LGW so cant comment what they are like yet.

I like them. Good for LGW but a bit of a trek from other terminals in LHR.

If I have a long layover at LHR I tend to book a day room at the HGI Hatton Cross. Bed, shower and access to a decent fitness room. Not bad for around £55.

Unless I misunderstood the shower at Aspire is an additional £20 and not included in the lounge entry fee/use of PP

(edit, yes it states in that great info thread!)

I would head to yotel, you can book 6.30am-10.30am which you can't at a "normal" day room and this will give you ample time for a rest and a decent shower

easiest way is bus 482 or 490 from outside the terminals (free takes around 15mins)

Thanks everyone - if PP will only get me the possibility of having to queue for a shower for £35, then Yotel for £40 looks like it might be the best option!
