Location of the Airport Lounges

All the lounges at Gatwick North Terminal lounges are located together in the lounge suite or pavilion as it is sometimes called.

Once you pass through security and then through the winding road that goes through duty-free you will come into the main part of the departures hall in the Gatwick North terminal area.

This is the large open area where you will see many different shops and restaurants.

Head towards the left. You will pass various shops and then see an escalator and a WHSmith at the bottom of it.

You will also see a sign for ‘lounges’.

The entrance to the lounge suite is just past the escalator on the right hand side.

  • My Lounge and No1 Lounges are on the ground floor.
  • Plaza Premium Lounge, Plaza Express and Clubrooms are on the 1st floor which is accessible via the lift or stairs.
