American Express Centurion Lounge Heathrow

Centurion Lounge at Heathrow Airport

Whether on business from Heathrow to Zurich, returning to Basel at the end of a vacation or via London as a stopover: waiting times at the airport are often unavoidable. You can make the most of this time in an airport lounge.  

If you are traveling to or via London, you will find the Centurion Lounge at Heathrow Airport (LHR), a lounge operated by American Express. It is located in Terminal 3, which is mainly used by many international airlines. 

Access and authorization to the Amex Lounge at Heathrow

As an American Express Platinum Cardholder with a valid boarding pass, you have free access to the Centurion Lounge at Heathrow Airport. You can also take up to two companions with you. This is particularly advantageous for family travel or business trips.

Interesting fact: Special conditions apply to holders of an American Express Gold Card when it comes to airport lounge access. For example, a Gold Card is more worthwhile for people who only fly occasionally but still value comfort. 

Interior and atmosphere

The Centurion Lounge at Heathrow sets standards in terms of design and feel-good atmosphere. The spacious, bright room concept catches the eye as soon as you enter:  

• The interior is made of high-quality materials such as wood, brass and marble.  
• The lounge combines British elegance with international chic.  
• Works of art on the walls and large windows let in plenty of natural light.

The seating areas have a varied design: In addition to classic armchairs, you will find cozy niches for working, lounge sofas for a quick power nap and a quiet library corner. If you value discretion or need to get some work done, you can also retreat to small, separate work areas. 

Catering in the American Express Lounge at Heathrow Airport

For many travelers, catering at the airport is an important criterion. In the Centurion Lounge at Heathrow, the focus is on varied, high-quality catering:  

• Changing buffets are served: You can fortify yourself with hot and cold dishes, from classic English breakfast offerings to international dishes and colorful salad variations.  
• Drinks are included: there is a well-stocked bar with regional and international wines, champagne, cocktails and hot drinks such as coffee and - typically British - high-quality tea.  
• Because you eat with your eyes: food is attractively presented in small portions and the buffet is always fresh and inviting.

In addition to food, drinks and stylish surroundings, you benefit from other advantages that make your stay in the Centurion Lounge an experience.
