Thanks Joey, bitterly disappointing, the Shanghai shared lounge is dire, many a time I would fly to HK just for the lounge and the flight timing

There are two Plaza Premium lounges almost next to each other near gate 40. One of them is clearly marked as the Virgin Atlantic Upper Class Lounge.
First impressions are reasonable. It isn't a Clubhouse, but then it was never going to be. It is a cut above most of the other Plaza Premium lounges I have been in around Asia. There are runway views - a good beer and spirits self pour selection. There are also a number of hot dishes available to eat - buffet style from a hot food counter, rather than prepared to order like the Clubhouse used to be.
There is also a nice selection of cold options, sandwiches and salad.
For those for whom it is important - the fizz is Moet.
There is a Virgin uniformed rep on the desk, British newspapers, reasonable wi-fi and clean toilets / wash room.
It would appear the disaster has been averted, but as always. YMMV.
