No1 Lounge, Heathrow
A stylish, comfortable room with a fully tended bar, hot food and drinks on the house: the easy way to swap a crowded Heathrow gate for a sofa and a glass of something before you fly.

No1 Lounges feel more like a smart hotel bar than a waiting room: deep armchairs, warm lighting, shelves of plants and ornaments, and a bar where staff pour your beer, wine, English sparkling wine or a spirit and mixer. Guests keep mentioning how comfortable the seats are and how good the service is.
The food covers seasonal hot dishes as well as snacks and fruit, and in Terminal 2 there are vegetarian and halal options. Flight screens and boarding reminders keep you in touch with your gate, the Wi-Fi is free and fast, and there are charging points so your phone leaves fuller than it arrived.
In Terminal 3 the lounge looks out over the runway and has a TV lounge for the football or the news; in Terminal 2 there are TV rooms for a film before you fly. Families have a room of their own.

Before you book
A two-hour stay
The listing sets the duration at two hours, while the lounge itself lets passengers in from three hours before departure.
What to do. Time your arrival so your two hours end around boarding, rather than arriving the moment the doors allow.
It can be full for a while
If the lounge is temporarily at capacity, the listing says you can wait for a seat or contact customer service to cancel and get a refund.
What to do. On a busy summer morning, head to the lounge as soon as you are through security so a short wait does not matter.
Dress smart casual
No1 Lounges refuse entry to guests in sports shirts, beach flip-flops, vests, fancy dress or clothing with offensive slogans.
What to do. Pack the football shirt in your case and wear it on arrival instead.
