Soho Lounge
One of the best
An excellent lounge. If you don't have access to the Chelsea Lounge, this is your next best choice and where any oneworld Emerald should visit when possible.

Pro tips
Rest behind a closed door
The relaxation room is just past the entrance on the right, beyond the agent desks and before the buffet. Loungers have pillows and privacy sheers separating individual seats.
Book your shower at check-in
Register at the check-in desks and take the beeper; it alerts you when a shower suite is ready.
À la carte dishes can arrive cold
People say à la carte dishes can arrive cold during the evening rush. The buffet may be a better bet then.
