For this return to London, I visited the Diamond Lounge , accessible to most High Contribution passengers departing from gates B of Zaventem airport in Brussels.
As a reminder, here is the route followed:

Location
The living room is located on the mezzanine of doors B. It is accessible by lift or by stairs from the departure lounge, and is well signposted.
Note that the Brussels Airlines lounge was closed during my visit at the beginning of October 2021, so all passengers departing from gates B were directed to this single lounge.
The welcome is polite, and I am admitted to the salon after verification of my eligibility.
Lounge design
The design of the living room is quite correct , with different spaces with various uses.
However, it is really full, and the color of the walls is of questionable taste . For me, it’s more of a magnified waiting room than a real relaxation area.
Catering offer
The catering offer is exclusively cold . A buffet is available, with sweet items (pastries, breads and spreads) and savory items (charcuterie, low-quality cheeses).
As for drinks, a wide choice of soft drinks is available, as well as a beer dispenser and entry-level spirits and liqueurs.
A Starbucks coffee machine is also offered.
Conclusion
A decent lounge, but the experience is hampered by the influx unsuitable for a Business clientele
