Haven't been to LHR lately, but this might be a starting point:

That means that all Star Alliance-operated lounges at London Heathrow are closed. The Plaza Premium Lounge in T2 is open and has become the contract lounge for some carriers.

Any updates on LHR Star Alliance lounges since the May 17 re-opening of indoor dining in UK? Flying LH from LHR-FRA on Saturday May 22 in J and wondering about lounge access in T2 at present.

staralliance.com describes all of them as "temporarily closed" — with exception of Air Canada's Maple Leaf Lounge, which would be nice but doesn't really make sense. https://www.staralliance.com/lounge-...=1623709485222

LH Business lounge in Heathrow is open. Senator section is closed. Breakfast options are croissants, and pain au chocolat plus warm egg muffin sandwich, porridge and yoghurts. Fairly busy but still quite a few seats even for groups of four.
Better than I had expected.

Anyone gone to the SQ lounge in the last couple of days. Supposed to be open now, at least the business side. If so, anyone care to comment on the offerings?

Food offering was like before, but it is now served service by the staff there.
Cocktail bar also open.
There are sandwiches/wraps/cakes/biscuits which are on individual plates (wrapped).
I did not use the showers, but I don't think they were open.

I've been using the Plaza Premium lounge since it is open instead of the LH one which is just awful at present for A gate departures. If you have Amex Platinum the Plaza is a much better option. I'll give the SQ one a go next time if I have time.

This is the one I usually use, but most of my flights are out of B, so wanted to try the SQ one. Thanks for your input.

What is specifically awful about the LH lounge at present?
