Nope - unless someone else who is eligible to bring guests invites you as their guest (or if you have a paid lounge membership eg Priority Pass).
When are you travelling these legs? There may be FTers who can help.

If your travelling on NZ2 AKL to LHR straight through then be aware there may not be enough time to visit lounge in transit even if you do have access. I have been on this flight many times, and my experience in the last few years is it isnt worthwhile even trying - this despite the hole of a secure transit facility that everyone is forced into complete with immigration formalities.
What is the purpose of your visit? I'm in transit. When do you expect to leave? In 2 hours. Yes really.
Sorry - rant over.
The last time I tried using the lounge in transit on this flight I had all of about 5 minutes in the lounge - this despite being one of the first off the plane & knowing exactly where to go, walk fast, etc. Spent hours queuing - at immigration, at customs, at security to get back airside. By the time got to the lounge its time to reboard.
As for AKL, at the moment wont be passing through then so cant help you - sorry.
