Off to Venice flying Club Europe. Does anyone know which lounge is the best/nearest to use at T5 please?

Nothing like Virgin, but are better than many many other airlines lounges! (IMO)

I would put any lounge in T2 ahead of the BA galleries. Especially the United one.

The indicator signs above both security entrances often show the south one often less than half as busy, not sure how it's calculated or how accurate those indicators are though?
I think many pax have a mis-conception that the south security is for premium pax only. It's not. Anyone can use either one.
It was standing room only last time I used the north lounge as well last year.
Everything on the north end of terminal 5 seems to get busier than the south end for some reason.

Better practise folding my legs under my chin!

Yup, BA have made the seat pitch the same in CE as it is in ET (apart from the A319 where ET is 29"). The only seat benefit is the empty middle seat with the nice table/consol. (Oh and the CE seats actually have real stitching rather than fake moulded stitching further back...). The leg room isn't too bad, it's only slightly reduced from what it was before because of the shape and design of the new seats (pitch is a bad way of measuring leg room). 1C is a good seat if you really want to stretch your legs out though.

An Exit seat in ET is preferable.
