Best Lounge at Heathrow T3

Eleven lounges covering oneworld, Virgin Atlantic, Amex Centurion, and three Priority Pass independents. Full reviews and a best-for guide by access type.

Best Lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5

Five lounges, one terminal. BA dominates — but Priority Pass, Amex Platinum and DragonPass holders have options. We tell you exactly which lounge to head for before you clear security.

Plaza Express Gatwick North

A cash-only budget lounge aimed at families, opened July 2024 in the former Virgin v-room. If you hold any cards, use Plaza Premium or No1 instead.

Clubrooms – Gatwick South

clubrooms Gatwick south

The best Priority Pass-accessible lounge at Gatwick South, and the only one with à la carte service and a staffed cocktail bar. Pay the £15 supplement, request the window room, and leave No1 to the crowds.

My Lounge – Gatwick North

A small, glass-fronted lounge with an industrial aesthetic and the earliest opening in the North Terminal at 4am. Free entry on easyJet flexible fares. Functional rather than inspiring, but reliably accessible and cheap.

My Lounge – Gatwick South

A quieter, more accessible Priority Pass alternative to No1 at Gatwick South. The outdoor terrace is a genuine differentiator and the lounge is typically easier to walk into than its neighbour. Solid rather than spectacular.
