London City (LCY) is a compact single-terminal airport in the Docklands, and its lounge scene is small to match.

This guide is compiled from airline, alliance and lounge-operator sources plus published access rules from Priority Pass and DragonPass — we haven't independently visited every London City Airport lounge yet. Nothing here is a paid placement, and the guide is updated as lounges open, close, renovate or change access policies. Read more about how we verify lounge data.

Where we'd actually go.
AeroSpa
AeroSpa is the only lounge inside London City's main terminal that sits airside after security, and it's reachable on DragonPass. For most travellers flying out of LCY it's the simplest option — no need to detour to the separate Private Jet Centre.
Business Lounge
The Business Lounge at the Private Jet Centre sells entry at a flat £35 per person, with food, drinks and showers. It's a straightforward walk-in option, though you check in at the main terminal first and return there for security, so factor in the transfer time.
First Class Lounge
At £95 per person, the First Class Lounge is London City's top-tier pay-in option — food, drinks, showers, a private on-site security checkpoint and a car ride to the aircraft, which avoids the back-and-forth the Business Lounge requires.

London City Airport lounges by terminal.
Main Terminal
London City is a single-terminal airport, and AeroSpa is its one airside lounge, sitting after security inside the main building. It's reachable on DragonPass and is the most convenient option for travellers who have already cleared the checkpoint and want to relax close to the gates.
- —AeroSpa is the only airside lounge in the main terminal
- —Accessed on DragonPass membership
- —Located after security, close to the departure gates
- —Opening hours run roughly 05:30 to 21:00, matching LCY's flight schedule
Private Jet Centre
London City runs two pay-in lounges from a separate Private Jet Centre rather than the main terminal. Both are sold per visit at a fixed price. You check in with your airline at the main terminal first; the Business Lounge then sends you back for standard security, while the First Class Lounge has its own on-site checkpoint and a car transfer to the aircraft.
- —Two walk-in pay-in lounges, separate from the main terminal
- —Business Lounge £35; First Class Lounge £95 per person

- —Business Lounge guests return to the main terminal for security
How to get into lounges at LCY.
London City has a small, simple lounge field. AeroSpa, the airside lounge in the main terminal, is reached on DragonPass. The two Private Jet Centre lounges are pure pay-per-visit — you buy entry at a fixed price per person, with no membership or airline status needed. Because the pay-in lounges sit outside the main terminal, always check where your lounge is before you head through.
DragonPass
DragonPass is the membership that opens AeroSpa, the airside lounge in London City's main terminal. Present a valid DragonPass with your boarding pass; check the per-lounge page for current guest rules.
DragonPassWalk-in day pass
The two Private Jet Centre lounges are sold per visit at a flat rate — £35 for the Business Lounge and £95 for the First Class Lounge — so you can pay per visit without any membership or airline status.
First Class Lounge with private security
The £95 First Class Lounge adds a private on-site security checkpoint and a car ride to the aircraft, avoiding the trip back to the main terminal that the cheaper Business Lounge requires. It's the smoothest pay-in route at LCY.
AeroSpa relaxation
AeroSpa pairs a calm, airside lounge space with a wellness focus, accessed on DragonPass. It's the most convenient option once you're through security, sitting inside the main terminal close to the gates.

Main terminal vs Private Jet Centre
- —AeroSpa is the only lounge inside the main terminal — pick it if you want to stay airside near the gates.
- —The Business and First Class lounges are at a separate Private Jet Centre, not the main building.
- —Decide which you want before you arrive, as the two locations have different check-in and security routes.
Mind the transfer time
- —Business Lounge guests check in at the main terminal, go to the Private Jet Centre, then return for standard security — the back-and-forth can eat into the value.
- —The First Class Lounge avoids this with its own security checkpoint and a car to the aircraft.
- —If you're tight on time, the airside AeroSpa is the lowest-hassle choice.
Pay-per-visit pricing
- —The Private Jet Centre lounges are fixed-price per person — £35 for Business, £95 for First Class.
- —No membership or airline status is needed for either; you simply pay to enter.
- —The First Class Lounge is not available to passengers of British Airways, Luxair, Aurigny or Skywork.
Plan around LCY's hours
- —London City is a compact airport with a concentrated flight schedule, so lounges follow the day's departures.
- —AeroSpa runs roughly 05:30 to 21:00 — confirm the current hours against your departure time.
- —Arrive with enough margin, especially if you're using a Private Jet Centre lounge with its extra transfer.
