    Before my return flight home I visited No.1 Lounge at Heathrow Airport. This lounge is very well appointed with comfortable seating areas, solid food and beverage options, and a bar area. The staff were very quick to keep tables clear and replenish the food. I would highly recommend this lounge. Nothing to dislike about it. If I were to nitpick, maybe more restroom availability would be good but it was adequate.

    Accessed via Priority Pass the No1 Lounge at Gatwick is better than most in terms of size, offerings and service. Especially appreciate the child-free are for a bit of quiet

    Decent lounge with free small plates and alcohol. The seats are pretty comfortable and the espresso machine was a nice touch. No restrictions using PP besides needing to prebook if at capacity. Nice option if at terminal 3 at LHR

    The food was tasty but the hot food isn't. It's lukewarm. This is despite the fact they don't put huge amounts out. The sweet treats (2 choices) taste good. The machine dispensed cappuccino is acrid and awful. The Coke Zero is from a pump contraption so tastes like bleach. The drinks glasses are warm, but no ice although the bar might have ice. If so they should put some at the soft drinks dispenser. Seating isn't comfortable with comfy places empty but marked reserved. I find it hard to believe one can reserve and not appear at all for over two hours. WiFi good. Staff within courteous and friendly unless you head for an empty reserved seat but they appear to know we aren't reserved guests - funny that. Male toilets in poor condition as not attended frequently enough. All in all not at all worth the cost of the hassle gaining entry not even close but alcohol drinkers just might get a better deal.

    This lounge gets the job done... there's food and bottomless drinks of all kinds including wines, self-serve coffees, sodas, infused waters etc. That said, it has super nice, high class parts with very comfortable seats and some very meh seating. I have a huge problem with the staff seating lone diners on the hard, uncomfortable seating area whereas couples and families are sat in the more comfortable seats and cuter parts of the lounge even though we all pay the same for our memberships. A on the other hand, they also have a cinema where guests can sit to watch movies and I think that's pretty helpful for travelers with teens. The seating discrimination for solo travelers and somewhat bland breakfast options were not the best tbh but the overall vibe of the place, free drinks, and enthusiastic staff leave you feeling good. Also, I don't think it's fair to judge their food options overall if I haven't had lunch or dinner there so tbd. I would go back for drinks and vibes with a group.

    This is a very comfortable lounge located in Terminal 3. I had to wait sometime to get in but it was worthwhile. It got facilities to work and plug in electronics. They also got a room where they stream movies like in a theater. I liked the pancake machine. The food was just okay.

    Nice lounge at LHR. Limited selection of food. There weren't hot items for breakfast, but the yogurt bar was excellent with fresh fruit. Espresso drinks were available and the bar was open. Comfortable area to wait for a flight. The staff worked hard to refill items in a timely manner.

    This is a spacious lounge in Heathrow airport which we checked out waiting for a connection flight. The yogurt bowl station was my favorite with Greek yogurt and plenty of berries and topping options. Coffee machines were excellent and drinks came out nice and hot. Pastries such as pain Au chocolate and plain croissants were fresh. There was also standard British hot breakfast available. People also seemed to really be enjoying the plethora of alcohol drink options as well.

    3.5 stars and rounded down for a couple reasons. This is the first lounge I've ever been to where they seat you in specific seats instead of allowing for general seating. When they seat you, they call out to the staff that brings you to your seat --easily audible to half the lounge--your level of entry access (ie. whether you're accessing the lounge via a specific credit card, business class tickets, lounge pass, etc.) which to me is kind of awkward. Like maybe you don't want to share with half the lounge what credit card you use. (Or maybe you do...if that's how you roll...) And they could be a bit more discreet if they were going to seat you by hierarchy, which they did--if you were business class you got the larger leather sofas and lovseats, if not you were seated at various other seating. Second, for the moderate busy-ness they were experiencing for an early evening crowd, there was only one staff manning the entrance. I had the unfortunate circumstance of being behind a customer who was trying to get a third person in his party free entry while his credit card only covered two people. (he was adamant in adding both his wife and mom to his entry without paying and was arguing with the staff member about it) this was not the fault of the staff for sure, however it took about 15 minutes to resolve and the line was steadily growing longer behind them which I felt could've been avoided by opening a second line. The lounge itself is pretty well maintained, very clean, moderate food options, not as many drink options, though they do have a bar and bartender available. Bathrooms were spacious and fairly clean.

    Context: I only came because I have priority pass This lounge is so nice compared to the Aspire lounge, come here first if there's room. It's spacious, there's nice views of the planes, open bar, and a small hot buffet. The day I came the food was curry with rice, string beans, mashed potatoes, brats, and gravy. The food was mediocre but I'd rather take this free food than paying $15 for mediocre airport food. Open bar was also really nice. I'll be back again next time I'm at Heathrow.

    No-where really to sit even as a solo traveller

    I was at the No. 1 lounge at Heathrow prior to a trip to the USA, which I had prepaid for. When I came to get my "free champagne" it was not even Champagne, just a small glass of sparkling wine (which normally costs 12 pounds sterling). I was told that the rest of the drinks on offer were free, so I asked for a Baileys. The pour was so small I barely had a smigen of a taste, and when I wanted to get another, the server had disappeared. Then I wondered over to the food area where there were about 12 pots of what looked like various stews - not looking very appetizing and some wedges of cheese cut up. Truly the buffet selections did not look inviting and or appetizing. Truly the lounge is a very poor imitation of a true Airline lounge of which I have visited quite a few. I would have only given one star; however, I did appreciate the singular bathroom facilities that were clean, private, and a nice change from the majority of mass airport facilities that are provided to the public. The view of the airport was nice, but the place was crowded with limited seating options. Overall, the value is poor in terms of what is given for the pre-paid fee.

    This is a pretty good airport lounge all things considered. It's not the nicest out there, very limited food options, often a little overcrowded, and the ambiance isn't the best due to how noisy it often is, but it's not bad and the food they do have is fairly decent, or at least better than what you'll get on a plane. The seats are pretty comfortable, it's got reliable fast charging along with good WiFi. And it's certainly a lot better than sitting at a gate. There's another issue that, despite being a popular lounge at a massive hub airport the has travelers from all around the world, the only wall outlet charging available is either British outlets or USB. If you want to plug in another country power brick you're going to need an adapter

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.

Reason being relative to the amount of traffic this terminal gets, the lounge capacity is very limited. The waitlist can be up 45+ minutes and it's not guaranteed that everyone on the waitlist can enter before they need to board their flight. This time it appeared they were giving some priority to people who had to board sooner as long as I was willing to share a table with another customer. In this lounge the staff assign seats to each customer which isn't something you usually see, though made sense based on the small size. Since I had only about 15 minutes prior to boarding time I wasn't choosy about comfort, really just wanted to grab a quick breakfast prior to getting on the flight, so this was fine by me. There's a small bar with breakfast selection of the day being "English breakfast" items: scrambled eggs, baked beans, crispy bacon, sausage. They also had some fruit/veg juices, pancakes (via a nifty little pancake machine), a bar with limited alcoholic drinks, and regular coffee/tea options. Functional enough for a quick stop though less comfortable than some other international lounges in terms of space, but still better than many lounges in the US when comparing quality of food.

The line was out the door with a 30 minute wait (and frankly not my favorite lounge, see my separate review of that one), and thankfully they told us to head to My Lounge which had more availability. They are both run by the same company, with My Lounge being recently remodeled and reopened (previously Club Aspire) in the past few months. Walking into the lounge it's decorated with a cozy vibe, think textured brick walls, warm jewel tone tweed textures on the furniture with medium wood accents in the floor and bookshelves, reminiscent of a modern family room. Seating inside looks roughly enough for about 100 people, at mostly lounge chairs and couches. There's decent spacing so that it doesn't feel too crowded. Check-in counter is immediately inside the entrance, at around 10:30am it wasn't too crowded, we were able to enter right away. Later on when we left around 1pm there was a short wait of about 10-15 minutes. Directly to the right of the check-in, there's a small, more private lounge room with seating for about 8-10 which is where we parked ourselves. Walking left past the check-in counter the space opens up to a bar serving liquor and cocktails, and a food bar along the wall. They had breakfast food set out, including yogurt, smoothies, granola and cereal, cut fruit, bread and mini pastries, and warm food including all the elements of a traditional English breakfast including scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, toast, roasted tomatoes, roasted potatoes. There was also a pancake station which I've seen at a couple other Europe lounges, and you can basically pour your own batter and it goes through a mini oven and pops out cooked on the other side. Around noon they also set out lunch food though we didn't end up eating much of that. Free WiFi is available and strong. There are screens scattered around the lounge with airline info though similar to other lounges no announcements are made, so you have to keep track of your own boarding time. Bathrooms are in decent shape. Normal hours are 5:00am to 10:00pm. Not a bad place to spend a few hours, would def stop by again if I lay over at Heathrow Terminal 3!

There wasn't much in the way of elevated options, though it was tasty nonetheless. And the bar was beautiful, though nobody was really partaking given it was 6:30 in the morning.
