Shower AA are the best
CX as others have said is great.. have not been there for a while, it was closed when I was going thru T-3
Beer.. any pub you see... cant stand the beer selection in any of the lounges

Have you tried CX showers? Best airport showers I’ve ever encountered.

I do have to get from T5 to T3 because of a connecting flight. I arrive from AMS in T5 but BA say you cannot access the Concorde room from departing flights.
How long does the transfer to T3 take?

Agree about the CX lounge - will be there next week for breakfast I expect - shame about the Eggs Benedict comment above though 
. Anyone got any up-to-date info on the Qantas breakfast? The only time we had a look at it, we were too early for the sit-down option which, I think, started at 09:00.

About 35-45 minutes to get from stepping off your plane to being in the airside departures area of T3. Assuming you don't have any checked bags to collect at T5 and to re-check, when you arrive juts head to the airside bus points in either T5A or B to catch a bus to T3. On arrival in T3 you will go through security.

Just to add a note here that there is a very comprehensive guide to the oneworld lounges in T3, including photos, in the Dashboard.

There is, and it is very useful, but I can't find an answer to my specific question there or on the Qantas website. We went there just after it had opened (or re-opened?) but were too early for the a la carte breakfast, but we will be later this time - so interested if anyone knows when it starts please.

I don't recall an à la carte menu in Qantas, I thought it is just a hot buffet,, as shown in the photos
