How we ranked LHR Terminal 2#
This ranking covers the 9 currently operating lounge pages in Lounge Frog’s guide to LHR Terminal 2. We ordered them by overall Lounge Frog rating, which combines the scored parts of the experience rather than rewarding a single standout feature. Food, drinks, seating, quiet, service, showers, workspace and other practical details can all affect the result. Every lounge in this published top five also has photography, so travelers can see the space before deciding where to spend a layover.
The top five#
At the top is Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge, rated 4.8 overall. In second place is United Club, rated 4.8 overall. In third place is Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge, rated 4.6 overall. In fourth place is Plaza Premium Lounge (T2), rated 4.6 overall. In fifth place is Lufthansa Business Lounge, rated 3.9 overall.
Where they are and when they open#
Terminal 2 has two buildings. The main T2A building sits behind security, and the T2B satellite is a walk away through an underground tunnel. There is no train between them, so allow about 10 minutes on foot if your gate is in T2B and your lounge is in T2A, or the other way around.
Three of the top five are in T2B. Singapore Airlines lists the SilverKris Lounge on the T2B departure level, open from 05:30 to 22:00. The airline says it has warm food, light snacks, bartender service and showers. The Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge shares that area and keeps shorter hours, from 06:00 to 17:30, so check the time before you plan on it. The United Club is upstairs in T2B, opposite gate B46, and it also serves passengers on other Star Alliance airlines who qualify.
The other two picks are in T2A. Priority Pass lists the Plaza Premium Lounge (T2) from 05:00 to 21:30. The Lufthansa Business Lounge is on the departures level next to the Aer Lingus lounge, so do not take the escalators down after security.
The other four#
The Lufthansa Senator Lounge is inside the Lufthansa Business Lounge and is for Star Alliance Gold and Lufthansa top-tier members. The Aer Lingus Lounge is next door. The No1 Lounge (T2) is open to anyone who pays and accepts Priority Pass, but it has no windows. No1 Lounges lists it from 05:00 to 21:00, with prices from £42, and you can enter up to three hours before your flight. The United Arrivals Lounge is only for eligible passengers after they land. Heathrow lists it from 06:00 to 14:00.
How I'd weigh access against the score#
The numbers are a useful starting point, but the best lounge for a particular trip is one you can enter without an unnecessary detour. Check the linked lounge pages for eligible programs, airline or cabin restrictions, guest rules, hours and location details. A slightly lower-ranked option may be the smarter choice when it is closer to your gate or matches the access already included with your ticket, status or card. Lounge policies and operating hours can change, so confirm same-day eligibility before heading to the terminal.
