London (LHR) airport lounges — which credit card gets you in

Heathrow Airport runs 12 lounges we can put a source under. 107 of the 1119 cards we track open at least one of those doors — 69 of them only if you clear a spend or tier gate. Below: every door with its terminal, hours, stay cap, guest fee and the exact cards that walk in. No "check with your bank".

How access works hereFold that back up 2 access networks · 107 cards that get in, one by one · 2 published walk-in prices

Which card gets you in

Lounge access is not one thing — it is 2 different machines at this airport, and your card is on some of them and not others. Each block below is one machine: the doors it opens here, and every tracked card that carries it. A card in more than one block gets in more than one way.

Priority Pass Global

12 of 12 doors · 95 cards

The same membership everywhere OUTSIDE India — the rooms it was really sold for. Split from the India estate because a card can carry one and not the other: SBI grants its PP visits “outside India only”, AU prices every within-India visit at $35 + taxes.

Direct issuer tie-up

2 cards named

The lounge admits the card itself, on the issuer’s own list. No network in between — shortest list, most reliable swipe. No card "carries" this the way it carries Priority Pass — the issuer publishes a list and the door reads the card, so we only claim it where an issuer names a card we track.

° The access is spend- or tier-gated: hover the card, or open its page for the exact trigger. A gate you miss is a door that does not open, whatever the brochure said.

If no card of yours opens a door
