Terminal 2's better all-purpose lounge: clean, calm outside departure banks, and adequate for a meal, not an experience.
A large, light common-use lounge with apron-facing windows, mixed seating, a smoking room and a small children's room. A May 2025 visit found it quiet until the British Airways departure wave, with prompt clearing and reliable Wi-Fi.
The buffet is more substantial than the decor suggests, but this is still a conventional waiting room. Use it for breakfast or a quieter seat, not because it merits arriving early.
