List of Lounges Currently OPEN to BA Passengers (open wiki for details)
This wiki includes details of open lounges accessible to premium (F/J or Gold/Silver) passengers travelling on BA operated services, either within the terminal BA depart from or accessible via airside transfer.
Other lounges may be accessible for passengers willing to transfer landside to other terminals or concourses, although this is generally not recommended due to time constraints as a result of needing to re-clear security. Additionally, some airports may offer pay-in lounges which are not otherwise accessible by BA premium passengers (either temporarily or permanently).
Most open lounges are operating with a limited food and beverage service, and other services may be unavailable or modified.
For opening hours, please check the oneworld lounge listing at https://www.oneworld.com/airport-lounges?location= which is now being regularly updated.
If your airport isn't listed below, this probably means there is no lounge available for BA premium passengers (either temporarily or permanently) - please check the oneworld listing for the most up-to-date information.

I don't know how to do photos but lunchtime menu is:
Traditional garden salad - topped with your choice of dill marinated prawns, flaked hamhock and frittata.
Rainbow salad of butternut squash and kale (topped with same as above)
Orange, chickpea and harissa salad (same toppings again.)
Loaded nacos topped with chilli, cheddar cheese, salsa, sour cream and chives or guac.
Chef Pete's festive turkey burger with Christmas slaw. Served with cranberry relish Kettle Chips
mushroom, red wine and tarragon pie served with french beans and sugar snaps
Soup of the day served with freshly baked bread.
I had the pie (tasty!) the garden salad with prawns and veg nachos (no chili- cold).

i was thinking it looks better as it seems they have reupholstered away all of the reds and golds so its just lots of navy and beige and grey from these pics at least inside which is a step in the right direction at least!

Anyone any news on SFO? I think BA is back operating out of the A concourse of the International Terminal - but my assumption is that the lounge(s) is/are still very closed. Heading there just after Christmas and would like to be prepared!

The Cathay Pacific and the JAL Lounge at SFO is also closed at the moment.
Your only lounge option would be the AA Admirals Club with double security at Terminal B. Also, a reminder that the AC closes at 15:30.
If you have PriorityPass, the AF Lounge in SFO should be open ( same terminal with BA ) and if you have AMEX Platinum, you could use the Centurion Lounge at Terminal 3 ( double-security ).

Thanks, ISTFlyer ! No lounge, no First dining, no direct boarding from the lounge! I'll have to make my own fun!

However, I agree with the part that SFO Terminal 1 is much better and nicer than most of the terminals in the USA.
