I have not been compensated in any way (financially or otherwise) to write this Blush Lounge London Heathrow review. Airport, airline, lounge, hotel, and loyalty program policies may have changed since the time of writing.
Following my tour of the Saudia Lounge London Heathrow, I made my way downstairs to the main Plaza Premium lounge. Here too, I was denied access, due to either capacity or something along those lines. I was referred to the Blush Lounge instead, which is at the other end of Heathrow’s Terminal 4, near gate 2.

The Blush Lounge London Heathrow is a lounge that offers limited amenities and serves more as an overfill space than a proper lounge.

I entered with my Priority Pass credentials, which are available through my American Express Platinum card, although I could’ve just used the Amex to enter as well. You can also purchase access to the lounge.
Atmosphere & Seating
Upon arriving, you will present your boarding pass to the front desk along with your access method, such as your credit card or lounge membership. The lovely agents checked me in, and let me know of the facilities available. While the lounge itself seems to be decorated in a chic way, the atmosphere was pretty hectic. This was previously the El Al King David Lounge, but is now operated as the Blush Lounge by Plaza Premium.
Immediately after the front desk, you’ll notice the food bar area, which is followed by the main seating area.
Since the lounge is at the end of the terminal, it has windows that let sunlight in. Today, the lounge was packed, which was expected since the main Plaza Premium lounge was at capacity.
I decided to settle into one of the available tables near the entrance, right by the buffet area.
Food & Beverage
The Blush Lounge had food on hand, including cold salad items and soup.
They also had hot food items, which included chicken tikka masala, cauliflower cheese, dal tadka, and rice.
Next to the hot food you can find an espresso machine, teas, and a mini fridge with cold beverages.
In the center, you could find the desserts.
Around the back, past the main seating area, you could find another dining area with more seating, another espresso machine, and some more cold food and drinks.
Wi-Fi & Connectivity
Complimentary Wi-Fi was available, but I didn’t get to try it out on my short visit.
Cleanliness & Facilities
The lounge was pretty hectic while I was there, so it was relatively clean, but could’ve been tidied up more.
Amenities
The Blush Lounge London Heathrow does not offer additional amenities. What you see is what you get!
Verdict: Blush Lounge London Heathrow Review
The Blush Lounge London Heathrow is a fine spot to get away from a packed Terminal 4 during peak time, but odds are the lounge will also be a madhouse. Additionally, the lounge does dedicate itself to catering toward El Al passengers when an El Al flight is departing. All in all, this lounge isn’t horrible, but it is very forgettable and I wouldn’t go back.
Overall Rating: 6.75/10
