London Heathrow (LHR) Lufthansa lounge
How does this lounge stack up the really solid AC/UA lounges at T2? I have heard really mixed reviews about the LH Lounges at LHR. Heard they are busy all the time but how does the LH Sen lounge food stack up with the AC/UA lounges?

The LH LHR lounge always had prosecco and not champagne. The Do&Co representative that was there explaining all the features to me and rcs85551 mentioned that he feared people will automatically assume its cheap/inferior because its not french

You can access them all, as per *A rules. However, it is a bit of a walk to the other lounges and no moving walkways on your way back to the LH gate.

It seems they stopped giving you a free courtesy ride in a golf cart on the way back to the main terminal. So it's like a 15 min walk in each direction to access the SQ/UA/AC lounges.
It's probably still worthwhile if you have a lot of time to kill. IYAM, the UA lounge is by far the best in T2.

Unless you plan to have over 60 minutes airside prior to boarding, there is no point in doing this. The LH Business lounge is perfectly nice. Yes, the UA lounge is the best in T2, but only for afternoon departures (when you can make use of the bar) and when flights depart from B. I actually prefer the LH breakfast. It is rare for a LH flight to depart from the B gates, and there is no point in arriving early at T2 purely for lounge hopping.

Different perspective – either the UA/AC lounges are, time permitting, a great excuse for a nice pre-flight's terminal walk (but I'm an avid long-distance runner, I understand that other people may find a 15 minutes' walk a bit of a challenge or simply can't be arsed 
).

I haven't used the UA lounge. I have used the LH, SQ and AC lounges. I think LH is the best of those three.
But getting between the two piers is so time consuming, it's not worth it to go unless you have time to kill.
I really use the SQ/AC lounge only when I have a departure from the second pier. Usually LX/LH leaves from the main building, but I've had departures from Pier 2 a non-trivial number of times.
I'll probably try the UA lounge next time if my flight leaves from Pier 2 based on the comments ITT.

Food-wise I prefer SQ. If u drink alcohol, there is a nice cocktail list at UA Lounge and there is one drink where they place 2 glasses into one - as colors are different - it looks great and tastes great.
