American Express has announced they will be opening a new Centurion Lounge at London Heathrow Airport. The lounge will open sometime in 2019 and will be located in Terminal 3. Key pieces of information:
- Lounge will be 7,000 square feet
- Will contain showers, private work states and UK inspired drinks & cuisine
It’ll be interesting to see how a lounge with 7,000 square feet will cope with the number of visitors Heathrow receives. How crowded the lounge is will largely depend on what access is like for UK-based cardholders. Currently American Express only operates one true Centurion lounge internationally in Hong Kong, that lounge is over 8,000 square feet. The now confirmed lounge at Charlotte Douglas International Airport CLT will be 13,000 square feet for comparison.
