British Airways Galleries North Club Lounge
LHR · Terminal 5
BA's Club tier in T5: oneworld Sapphire access, buffet plus a la carte, calmer than the Concorde Room queue.
Galleries North Club is the northern of BA's two Galleries Club lounges at T5. Layout follows BA's familiar Galleries template — open floor with seating clusters, central buffet, manned bar, dedicated work zone. Hot kitchen rotates through Western and Asian mains plus the BA-branded breakfast service. Cold spread covers cheese, charcuterie, salads, dessert. Bar pours BA wines, Mumm champagne, premium spirits. Showers in a separate corridor with proper amenities. Wi-Fi is fast. Crowd is BA Club World/Europe passengers plus oneworld Sapphire from the alliance. Quieter than the morning long-haul peak in Galleries First but busier than Cathay First T3.
