200 Tier Points in 2 days

It would appear it has never given access to BA T5 lounges other than on a few flights to Aus, Singapore and HK. I presume those went down the pan when Emirates became involved.

Other than at peak periods it’s First Capital Connect that runs services to London Bridge.

Also be aware that London Bridge station is being rebuilt and on certain days (like today) all services from Gatwick are diverted and do not call there. If so you need to get off at either Blackfriars or Elephsnt & Castle where is is a bit of a hike to the tube.

Ehhhh, thanks? I actually did get lost last time I went to LCY. I was being cocky and got off a tube stop early for my connection thinking I knew what I was doing – totally lost and had to go to a cab office to get round to the airport in time. So, head for London Bridge (if it’s open), Jubilee to Canning Town, then the Woolwich service on DLR. I’m glad this came up, I would again cockily have made my way from Gatwick heading in the general direction and maybe got lost again. I’m a simple country boy! Thanks all.

Another alternative for £450 pounds a year is to get an American Express Platinum charge card:
– Equivalent of BA Silver with Marco Polo / Cathay Pacific
– Priority Pass Membership
– SPG Gold
– Le Club Accor Platinum

Yes, it has- as it has the equivalent of BA Gold on the Centurion card, although those who held them on expiry of the offer have had a further six months added on after the expiry date.
