LGW UC VS 44 - Arrivals Shower?

I am arriving LGW UC from LAS VS44. Understand that LGW does NOT have Revivals Lounge like LHR, but wondering if Virgin has any facility for UC pax showers on arrival?

Thanks for any info, I'm new to this forum.

Nothing complimentary which is a shame but it's worth knowing that the Regus Business lounge in South Terminal Arrivals has showers.

Is advertising "Arrivals lounge: Showers - special summer offer £10" It's unclear if this is in addition to the entrance fee or not.

I've just been told there are public showers in Gatwick South - a well kept secret.
Look at this map: http://www.gatwickairport.com/globalass ... arch16.pdf

Once you clear customs and exit through the World Duty Free shop (#12 on page 5) turn hard left and take the stairs or lift marked "Lifts and stairs to local buses." You want to go up one level to Departures (Level 3) this will take to the area behind Joe's Coffee House (#7 on page 6), the showers are between the toilets as you exit the stairs/lift. You will need to use the courtesy phone to call for the attendant who will bring the key to open the shower, soap and a towel for you to use. The whole service, including the use of the towel is free.

Thanks for the swift replies!

Need I'll need to check, I'm thinking Regus lounges may be included with Priority Pass or is an Amex Platinum benefit.

Regus doesn't accept Priority Pass and Regus Businessworld Gold used to be a benefit of Amex Business Platinum but that was removed some time ago.

If you have status with any car firm (you should if you have Amex Plat) then status match to Sixt and use that to get a free Regus Preferred card (15 free visits) via this offer http://partner.sixt.de/regus/regus-serv ... rship/?L=1
