    The food.......
    Sallie D.

    No restroom in the lounge. Food is not good (speaking as an American, compared to the distribution of other lounges in the US and abroad).

    Breakfast bar!

    THE WORST LOUNGE EVER! NO AVAILABLE SEATS AND SHITTY FOOD! There were very limited lounge on the London terminal and l access to this lounge was free with Priority pass. There was long queue to get in. When we finally got in, there was no table to sit. The lounge was very very small with limited seating and it was over full. People were wandering waiting for seat. We saw a table being emptied at the very end and just as we were about to sit, we were told by the employee that those tables are reserved way in ADVANCE and are CHARGABLE! Wow! Not only they have limited seating but the majority of seating is chargeable and not available! After waiting for 30 mins we finally found some seat. It was lunch time but food options were super limited in general and nothing vegetarian. I wouldn't considering wasting time at this Lounge! No relaxation and no food! I mean those are the TWO main reasons why lounge exists and this lounge DOESN'T offer any of those!

    Decent Heathrow AirPort Priority Lounge with not enough space for everyone and very little variety of foods and drinks! Still, compared to LAX Tom Bradley Airport which doesn't have any lounges, this lounge is far better than nonexistent one in Ghetto AirPort! Compared to Malpensa AirPort in Milan, this isn't too bad.

    Upon approaching the welcome desk to the lounge, it seemed discouraging due to the line, however, it was a godsend to spot the banner to the right which allowed you to scan a QR code and enter the queue virtually. We thought it was a hopeless pursuit, but not 5 minutes later -- and after having walked away considerably -- I received a text that they were ready to receive us. The line from before appeared to be travelers checking in after receiving their text messages. That being said, the check-in process is a little slow and could use some improvement. Regardless, once we eventually made it to the front, check-in was a breeze with my Priority Pass. The lounge is situated near floor-to-archway glass windows therefore in the morning, seating might not be ideal. This was the case with our arrangement as the boy was in direct sunlight, haha. The lounge is quite packed with seats but were comfy enough and with outlets that were in working condition. There is a full bar with complimentary pints on tap. Food was self serve and was OK with lots of selection. Although simple, it was a nice touch. I was saddened the mini pancake maker was glitchy, but the fast free wifi and serviceable staff members making their rounds regularly made for a lovely enough experience.

    Love to stay here. I really like the bar and the food which is always filled fresh. I think the lounges gets more crowded than the past and they've stopped the free entering. So I had to wait about 40 minutes for a table. You better should book in advance and make a reservation. Will cost around 5 but it's worth it. Biggest minus: there are no restrooms

    It takes a bit of a walk and a few escalators to get to the British Airways First Class Lounge, but…read moreit is absolutely worth it. This lounge has the space as in a huge area, the relaxed vibe, the very comfortable chairs and sofas to make this the perfect stop and break when taking that 15-20 hour flight to Asia with the one stop in London. Well this stop is the best. The team here is outstanding. They have a greeter 30 feet outside the entrance. There have always been 3 staff members at the check in which is in seconds. Love the selection and top shelf beverage and wine variety. Really love the ice cream cart. Get a genuine and full English breakfast here. The handy QR codes make it so easy and convenient to order and instantly receive food, drinks and amenities right at one's seat. Enjoy the ultimate shopping experience as you jump on the " Reserve and Collect" computers to reserve and shop from any store or boutique at the airport. All this while checking out the sun teasing with a ten second appearance and the planes entering and exiting the gates a few hundred feet away The team here keeps the buffet stocked and picks up used plates in a jiffy. The sad part is leaving after settling into that beautiful LazyBoy armchair and hopping on the sometimes crowded elevator( excuse me lift) as the escalators going down are temporarily out. First Class all the way.

    This lounge is accessible with oneworld emerald status. There is also a dedicated security area…read morethat leads directly into the lounge, which is great because theres no line at all. The lounge itself has plenty of seating all over the place. A full bar centrally located and a dining area with plenty of eating options. I was there during dinner hours, I didnt find the food to be anything special, but it was def better than whatever will be served on a plane. Be aware that this terminal is massive with its own train connecting 3 diff areas. So your flight might be up to 15-20 journey from the lounge if its in a far away gate. Would def recommend this lounge if you have access!

Lots of seating options. During certain windows, the lounge can get quite crowded. I was able to find a cosy nook during my visits. As with their other lounges, each table has a QR code menu to place orders and the items in the menu changes based on the time of the day you are in. During my morning visit, I ordered a mocha, eggs royale (smoked salmon benedict) and a green juice. During late afternoon, they offered high tea and I was pleasantly surprised by the huge basket with sandwiches, quiche, scones and pastries. Each of their food items and beverages were exceptionally good. I also used the showers which was well maintained. The bathrooms are also individually designed allowing privacy and space to freshen up, change etc.

It's a lounge for First British Airways customers located in Terminal 5 at London Heathrow. The most premium feature of our visit was being able to dine in the private pre-flight dining booths. This is basically a restaurant-type experience. The food (we ate breakfast) was good and the high partitions in the dining area gave a nice sense of privacy. The service was top-notch and this was the best part of visiting The Concorde Room. After eating, we camped out in the lounge for what was thought to be about an hour, but turned into 3 hours with multiple flight delays. Good news is that the lounge is nice and does offer some outdoor dining as well, so there was plenty of natural light, but the lounge could've benefited from more partitions and more privacy. The decor is fine, but lacked the elevation and sophistication of other first class lounge products. The part where The Concorde Room loses a star is in the bathrooms. They are rather small, gender-neutral restrooms with poor lighting and they really felt like something you would've seen in just a regular terminal. Nothing luxurious about the restrooms whatsoever. Overall, The Concorde Room definitely delivers in the dining realm, but loses its luxury focus in other aspects of its execution.

For example, I was scolded for wearing my belt while it seemed that liquids up to 2L were permitted?!? The walk and tram to the B gates is misleadingly quite far, probably a 15-20 minute walk/ride.

It has now has the added honor and distinction of being one of the cleanest, smooth, efficient, safe, nicest and happiest airports.

There was a smooth flow despite the airport having a lot of delayed and cancelled flights coming in post storm in the US. The airport is easy to get around and there are info booths and the best part - there is an employee to assist literally every 100 feet. I also got to mail out some cards via a bright red Royal Mail box smack in the middle of Terminal 5. 5 Stars!
