No 1 Lounge Heathrow Terminal 2 – All You Need to Know

Last updated on February 24th, 2026 at 07:36 pm

If you’re flying from London you might be thinking of using the No 1 Lounge Heathrow Terminal 2.

I’ve used this lounge myself and in this review I’ll show you exactly what to expect, how to access it, what the food and facilities are like, and whether it’s good value for money.

I visited using my Priority Pass membership. My Standard Plus plan includes 10 visits per year, so my visit worked out at about £20.60 each based on the annual fee (great value compared with paying direct).

Where Is the No 1 Lounge & How Do You Access It?

How To Buy Access to the No 1 Lounge Terminal 2

Book Direct	Book 3rd Party	Priority Pass
£44 for 3 hours	£37.84 with my Holidayextras Discount for 3 hours £34 with LoungePair for a refundable lounge pass	£20.60 with Priority Pass Standard Plus (10 included visits)

If you’re deciding how to enter, here’s the simple takeaway: Priority Pass is usually the best value if you’ll use lounges more than once or twice per year, while third-party passes can work well for one-off trips.

The No 1 Lounge is a paid entry lounge. This means you can access it whatever airline you are flying with and whatever type of class you are flying.

You can either;

• Buy access directly on the No 1 Lounge – £44 per adult for a 3 hour stay
• Buy access through via my discount code at Holidayextras – £37.84 for 3 hours guaranteed entry
• Access via an airport lounges membership scheme such as Priority Pass. The cost to enter depends on your membership level.

Inside the No 1 Lounge – My Experience

I visited in the morning and the lounge was quite busy. When I initially entered there was only space on a sofa but when someone left I was able to get a table seat.

The lounge was around 80% full.

The No 1 Lounge is set below ground level.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Sofa seating
• Small higher tables and chairs near the buffet
• Armchair style seating and sofas
• Some recessed areas with seating

The lounge is long and fairly narrow.

Some of the seating was reserved for guests that had booked direct including the booth seating by the buffet.

Is Priority Pass Worth It at Heathrow Terminal 2?

For most travellers, the answer to that is yes.

Here’s why:

• Walk-in price: +£40
• Priority Pass visit with Standard Plus Membership (and my readers discount) £20.60

If you use this lounge just twice per year, Priority Pass often pays for itself.

For regular flyers, it’s one of the easiest ways to save money at Heathrow.

No 1 Lounge London Heathrow T2 FAQs

No 1 Lounge London Heathrow Terminal 2 – Final Verdict

• The No 1 Lounge was much smaller than other No 1 Lounges I have visited. As a result the buffet is a bit limited.
• It’s not ideal if you need to do some work because of the lack of tables at the right height, so perhaps more suited to leisure travellers.
• Being able to prebook this lounge with Priority Pass is helpful if you are travelling at peak times.
