I don't think the AC lounge operates that late either (both pre- and post-Covid) so if you're at T2B it's very much UA for now

That's good news indeed — I did assume the UA lounge would be closed. It operated till 10pm before COVID, and haven't for as far as I could remember after Covid. It's also the better option for a shower than the Krisflyer lounge.

Apparently the SQ lounge is going to close for refurbishment real soon:
[Advisory]Our SilverKris Lounge at London Heathrow Airport Terminal 2 will be closed for refurbishment from 8 February 2024 until mid-2024. During this period, Singapore Airlines (SIA) First Class and Business Class customers, as well as PPS Club, KrisFlyer Elite Gold, and Star Alliance Gold members travelling on SIA flights, will be invited to use United Airlines’ United Club lounge at Terminal 2, located opposite Gate B46. Eligible customers may also make use of the other Star Alliance lounges located within Heathrow Airport.

There are a number of other *A flights (BR, ET, CA, TG, OZ, etc) that depart T2B in the evening whose pax can/will use the UA lounge as well.

I'll be there next month. Personally, I've always liked the LHR SQ F lounge (I'm fortunate enough to be able to access it when flying SQ). Never really crowded, quiet, easy, not huge but reasonable selection of drinks/food, natural light. I tried the UA lounge only once...it was pre-Covid morning hours and a total zoo. But I'll be happy to try it again in the evening...flying BR so was going to check it out anyways!

I usually take the evening flight and always head to the UA lounge until its closing time as I love the bar and the general ambiance of the lounge (early evening is generally quiet). Their western food selection is better IMHO than SQ too and the showers are much nicer. Glad to know that they are extending their operating hours. Also good that SQ is upgrading the LHR lounge as I find the layout a bit weird (biz lounge). Would like to see a proper bar and more differentiated seating options.

Singapore Airlines Is Planning To Refurbish Its London Heathrow Terminal 3 Lounge

Very exciting news indeed. Hopefully, F&B will be best in class for *G lounges at LHR.
The airline is investing money in its SilverKris London to ensure passengers have a brand new and better experience.

I share your hope that it is an amazing lounge once completed.

Indeed SQ's lounges are not its strong suit - like how CX's service isn't theirs.
While I'm no expert in this matter, a quick search and study reveals that the United GS LHR Lounge is just a secluded space with no real food and beverage upgrade over the current United Club which you would have access to as an ANA F passanger. I'm also subject to the unexpected and unappreciated closing of the Singapore Lounge on my upcoming flight in SQ F this month. Was looking forward to some decent food and beverage prior to boarding a flight where breakfast is the first meal; not something where airlines excel. Oh well...

Having said that, I don't know if any temp measures will be in place while the SQ F lounge is closed.
