British Airways Concorde Room, London Heathrow: a studious stay

After a short flight from Paris, I’m connecting in London before my next flight to New York.

Connection circuit

Freshly disembarked off the C gates of Terminal 5, the bus dropped us off at arrivals and this time, instead of taking the connecting route, I preferred to go to arrivals and take a classic departure route via The First Wing.

It was all done very smoothly, with no waiting at all.

I then crosssed the Galleries First lounge to get to the Concorde Room.

Location and welcome

The lounge is located in the Galleries South lounge block. The reception was average.

Lounge design

The lounge design was identical to that of the outward journey. I was sitting at the back of the terrace.

Catering

The offer at the time of my visit was afternoon tea. I had a glass of Laurent Perrier Grand Siècle and a mint tea.

I had a small salmon sandwich on my way out.

Bottom line

A pleasant but short stay.
