Upper Class Seat Selection on Boeing 789
I'm booked to fly VS 207 HKG-LHR in October, and a quick look at FlightRadar suggests that this route is mostly flown by the 789.
What are generally considered to be the best seats in Upper Class on the Dreamliner? I'm looking to maximise privacy, so perhaps something towards the front?
With thanks.

Having just flown on the VS 787, I don't think any of it really private but I guess 1A would be the seat to go for, though it's by the galley. Definitely stick to the left hand side of the cabin (row A) as the other two rows face each other.

1A is too close to the galley.
I just came back from a LAX-LHR-JNB RT with 3 of them on 787-900
Stay on the A side but 3A-8A is my prime area.
This is the view from 5A looking back.

I would personally choose 1A or 2A next time; while there is a galley of sorts up front it was not heavily used, and also the lack of restrooms at the front means far less foot traffic than on most planes.
