The No1 Lounge Gatwick South is located on the top floor of the main terminal area. It took me about five minutes to find the lounge, as its entrance was a small door between two stores. Once I made it through the short hallway, I arrived in a much nicer lobby area, where a lounge…

I couldn't agree more.
I fly KEF-LON-KEF several times a year, and this lounge is the reason I try to fly out of LGW instead of LHR, as they contract with this lounge.
In contrast, at LHR they use the Air Lingus Gold, which tends to be empty, but the food selection is limited to soup and crackers.
The layout of the No1 lounge is a little strange though, and there are a few "hidden" areas which are not overcrowded, although the center section often feels very crowded. So finding a quiet corner isn't that challenging.
It should also be mentioned that Priority Pass will get you into this club as well as the No 1 club in the North LGW terminal as well.
They'll rarely let you in with priority pass unless you prebook, either for £5 or £7.50 including a glass of champagne.
Garuda Indonesia also used this lounge for the LGW-AMS-CGK flight. They also provide curb-to-plane airport escorts service for first class that is very helpful.
I agree about the need to prebook with priority pass (or any other lounge access program). It's quite unusual these days for them not to refuse access to PP.
As noted in a previous reply, it's unlimited free alcohol, not just 1 drink free. Not sure where the 1 drink limit idea would have come from!
London Gatwick tends to be for holiday destination flights, that's why there are not that many businessmen. And as mentioned earlier, drinks are not limited for one, it's just champagne which is limited.
While I only went in once, I did not have a problem getting in with a Priority Pass. However, I can imagine that is dependent on the time of day. Mines was like 9am.
They have this regular PP thing which is putting reserved signs on half the tables. When we were there, nobody went to those reserved table. We were there about 2 hours total.
Priority Card member, You will experience total humiliation. You can not wait in line for vacant capacity even there are no line or book on line for seat. We were even told the card is useless
I am flying Premium Economy on Norwegian Malaga to LGW and then five hours later LGW-FLL.
No. 1's website says that you are allowed to stay three hours. Do they enforce this strictly? We are getting there at 9:40 am in time for breakfast and will be there through the lunch service. Do they really limit what you eat there?
The latest reports have mostly been horrible.
Should we think about doing something else during that 5 hour layover?
