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 think T3 First may open if BA actually operates flights from T3. The date for that resumption is far from clear, regardless of what your booking may currently say.

The last information I was given is that T3 First is not expected to reopen this side of 2022.

The QF lounge is closed as QF aren't operating international flights at the moment (except for a few repatriations). The CX lounges are closed due to lack of demand currently. The AA lounges are closed for refurbishment.
The only oneworld lounge open in T3 is BA's Galleries Club lounge, per the wiki and oneworld website.

I’m curious if that will change with the new GGL/CCR rules + reduction of F capacity. Whereas a full F cabin + a few GGLs could overwhelm the IAD dining room for example in the past, that’s unlikely with a cabin of 8 unless there are an above-normal number of GGLs. For a GGL flying in J out of IAD for example, once the UA Polaris lounge opens, that will offer a better experience than J pre-flight dining on BA. But access to F dining would skew that the other way.

Is there any update on FRA or BSL?
I see that there is mention of the JAL lounge at Frankfurt but no details on the limited days/times.
As for BSL, did BA ever have lounge access? There’s only one lounge, as far as I know, and it’s been open again since early September.

On a side note it looks like QR is bringing back the A380 from November too although I do hope they open the onboard lounge as Emirates currently do.
