Flying tomorrow to Gran Canaria, first time out of the Uk since December 2019!
Which lounge is the best in T5 (not sure which gate flight departs from) – is it the North or South lounge or is the Plaza lounge any good (Amex Platinum cardholder).
Thanks
Concorde Room is the best lounge at T5.
T5B is the best club lounge
Based on today’s experience, you won’t get a first class experience in the BA F lounge in T5. I’m looking at multiple tables that have been left uncleaned for 30 mins or more, and food deliveries are taking 15 minutes – pretty disgraceful, really.
Was at Plaza Premium yesterday at 6.15am. Although took 15 mins to get in, lounge was pretty quiet. But what an odd lounge! Great if you are a single traveller wanting to be cocooned in a small booth but for two of us nowhere to really sit together other than at a table. The sofa/chair spaces were taken – one area by a couple taking chairs for six drinking wine and beer. I note the alcohol because it never fails to amaze me that wine becomes a breakfast drink at an airport. Champagne maybe !
Breakfast offering dire in my opinion with little healthy options.Based on today’s experience, you won’t get a first class experience in the BA F lounge in T5.

Sounds pretty standard for a BA F lounge.
@njb, I think it’s a local bye-law (and a cultural norm) that you have to drink lager at breakfast time at a northern airport. I personally prefer Champagne with my bacon roll, but then I’ve always been considered to be a bit of a softy liberal in these parts!
@GaryE Which lounge did you use in the end? Im there on Monday evening.

We used the Galleries South Lounge – wasn’t the best experience! We were there from about 9am to 10am – had to use the QR code for the menu and it was pretty basic. Probably in hindsight might have tried the Plaza Lounge as it is meant to be quieter.
