When I am flying shorthaul, if I have time to kill, it is usually UA for shower SQ for some food and drinks, and LH for the last stretch. (though, if haven't eaten some decent oriental meal in SQ, LH has great food.) I only go to AC if there is some long delay or I have long layover and need sleep, because their sleeping/lounging chairs are in a very dark/quiet area and usually unused. I find both AC and UA to have pitiful food offerings. At breakfast, for example, UA tends to offer a menu similar to LH, but nowhere near as delectable. SQ quality isn't amazing, but the tendency to have some curry and chicken wings does it for me. I also always feel like the bartenders in UA are expecting a tip. I also feel that, out of all of them, UA has worst seating situation. Nowhere to just plop down and relax. SQ's pod things get high marks for me. (Though I usually travel alone and I value my privacy)
Quite interesting how diverse the views are on the lounges. (And how anybody would put AC on top.

Check-in at Heathrow
I will b flying Turkish Airlines’ Business. Apparent the only convenient lounge for me is Lufthansa BC at T2A. I would love to check out UA/SIA/AC Lounges at T2B but it’s a fair distance away. Is check-in at Heathrow only opened 3 hours before flight departure?

Which TK flight are you on? If it's operated by an A321 then it will generally be an A gate so Lufthansa lounge, if it's an A330 or 777 it will usually be a B gate so Air Canada, United or Singapore for lounges.
It's about 10 minutes walk between the A & B gates if you are a swift walker. The check in counters for TK open for the departure of TK1988 at about 04.30 (beware gold track does not open until 05.00 though) and they are generally open from then on with the odd short break but you can always use a self check in machine if the counter is not staffed.
