BA Concorde Room is a joke

The Concorde Room is a joke

Love the Heathrow Express which wisked us back from Paddington Station to Terminal 5 is just over 15 minutes.   We stopped at the T5 Left Luggage to collect our bags.

And then upstairs to BA First security.

One of us had no problem.  LOL.

Civilized BA First security. 

Which funnels into the BA/One World First Lounge.   You couldn't hide the extension cord, BA??

Down the hall is the Concorde Room, reserved to BA First passengers.

Once something special, it is definitely not so special anymore. 

BA closed it for a year for "renovations" during Covid but other than some new furniture, I don't seen much difference. 

The Terrace is as nice as ever with some new furniture...

But, they couldn't spend a little money to add power outlets, despite the nearby power?  Seriously, it's 2022.

Dummies...

 

Concorde Dining, which looks exactly the same as before "renovations".

The communal table seating is new and a nice addition.

But that assumes that you can find anything on the menu remotely interesting.   The Concorde Room menu... so 1970s, 1960s, 1950s.

Traditional British Sandwiches.   Yeah, that really sounds appetizing.

Spiced Cauliflower Pie.  Seriously??   And Mackerel??  The cheapest fish you can buy.   And the BA Burger??  Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me.

About the only thing that I figured they can't screw up.

I passed on food but DFW_CK threw caution to the wind and ordered a scone and the traditional sandwiches, none of which were edible with the scone being the consistency of a hockey puck.

After a couple of hours, mercifully it was time to leave to head out for the train ride to the C gates... BA's personal assistants and limo service not operational today.  LOL.
