Which Lounge At LHR
To be more specific in terms of possible eligibility I have an Amex Platinum card and I have Platinum Medallion status. It appears there is a VS lounge and an Amex Centurion lounge. I'll be flying coach on Delta. Also can a passenger access these lounges on arrival to LHR or only for departing flights? Thanks

The clubhouse is much better and more convenient than the Amex lounge, for arrivals assuming your final destination is London you can only use the arrivals lounges the virgin lounge is called revivals. You didn’t mention if you are traveling alone or with others but I think only the actual PM member can go into the lounge when flying coach. Not 100 percent sure about the clubhouse but I know for revivals it is only the PM. You can look it up on delta and see what the current rule is

Maybe I'm just tired of it, but I actually think the food is better in the Centurion lounge than the Clubhouse. Clubhouse has a limited menu, especially at breakfast (Clubhouse has some sort of sandwich with British bacon and sauce but Centurion lounge has nice, crispy American style bacon by itself). The Centurion lounge is a buffet so you can select exactly what you want, quantities you want and accompaniments you want. If you have time and desire more than a bite/appetizer go to the Centurion Lounge, then to the Clubhouse for cocktails and fun.

Agreed the food in the Centurion is really not bad, with the portion size though, I need to go 15 times to the buffet to feel full
