Given that we arrived early I had plenty of time to go to the Virgin Atlantic Revivals Lounge before it closed at 1:30PM. After exiting immigration I had to turn left towards the elevator for the Terminal 3 carpark, where the Revivals Lounge is located.

Pretty good menu for an arrivals lounge, sure beats Air France @ CDG (though that one is actually pretty good, after account for the fact that it's Air France).
Nice report so far!
You really should have taken one for the team and ordered breakfast, if only for the photos 😉
Great report so far, Lucky. But I agree ... you should have eaten that Revivals farmhouse breakfast and taken a picture for us! 😉
Hee hee hee Lucky - those aren't croissants..... one is a Pain Au Chocolat and one is a "danish"
They look delicious!
Yes, the massages are really free - although they won't say "no" to a tip. I got a free manicure when I went. It was really great, the girl was super-nice, and I of course left her a tip. No big deal. (Still cheaper than paying for one too...)

Why does the Revivals Lounge close at 13.30? Our SFO-LHR flight arrived at 13.15 and we were both desperate for showers and general freshen-up after long haul - were v disappointed to find it shut and the only shower facility a long way away with heavy luggage at T4! A bit of an anti-climax after a very good Upper Class flight
@ Ann -- I assume it's because the intent of the Revivals lounge is to freshen up before a day of work hang out for a bit before you're reasonably able to check in to a hotel, given how early most transatlantic flights arrive. I certainly agree with you, though that's the reasoning, I assume...
Is the Revivals Lounge for Economy passengers?
Or is there a place to rest with a long layover in Terminal 3, if you are flying economy?
@ Mary -- Unfortunately it's only for Upper Class passengers and Gold card holders. Sorry!
I will visit Clubhouse at LHR this week. I want to book a spa and hair trim service. How much do you thing it will be proper to tip? Or it won't be necessary ?
I am travlg. Y/c To EWR & my layover at Terminal 3 is 9 hrs.
Is there a lounge facility for me ????
Do we have to pay or it is gratis ????
awaiting your reply
Thanks
@ Dinshaw -- If you're in Upper Class you can use the Clubhouse. If you're in coach unfortunately there's not a lounge you can use, sorry.
There are public lounge areas in Heathrow where you can take a shower for a small fee. You can also check in to the Yotel for 4 hours for about 32GBP. You can shower, take a quick nap. Comfy beds good showers tiny room but perfect to get you going. Much cheaper than an upper class ticket. You won't get much sleep in an economy seat but this should help kick start your day
