Maybe I've been lucky, but I've never waited more than a few minutes with Fast Track at LHR.

I am a Delta DM. I will be arriving at LHR on an Upper Class fare on VA Saturday morning. I have an extremely long layover at LHR for a connecting flight to Delhi on Jet Airways. What will my lounge options be? Can I access the Virgin lounge in T3 given that I’ll be arriving on an upper class ticket?
Another place which is relatively close to LHR is Windsor, a really neat town. The queen lives there on weekends.

3) Leave Heathrow and go to nearby Windsor. You'd have about 4 hours to see Windsor. Alternatively, you could take an Uber to nearby Runnymede and see the Magna Carta monument, walk the park and have lunch at the National Trust tea room before heading back to Heathrow.

Wow, thanks for all the advice above. Sorry I fell out of the loop on this thread; I got really busy with work. Anyway.... I’m at L’Atellier Joël Robuchon having lunch on my layover as I type. I’m pretty comfortable about getting back to LHR with plenty of time, but obviously don’t have a lot of time to do anything else in London today (which is fine because I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been here). So far I’m happy with my choice to leave the airport and thankful for all the tips.

If you're starting in the USA, I suspect that you're arriving on VS, not VA.
If you decide to use PP for the SkyTeam lounge, note that the last time I was there, the lounge has champagne but you had to request it from a staff member. I figured this out when I saw a bunch of champagne glasses but no bottle of champagne. There didn't seem to be a limit of one glass per person, and it was pretty good, although obviously not Dom, Krug, etc.

The Delta operated and branded arrivals lounge at LHR T3 has closed. As HI mentioned, the T3 VS "Revivals" lounge is accepting almost everyone who qualified for access to the DL lounge. In my experiences, I think the Revivals lounge has decent showers, great spa services, and an excellent breakfast.
