There's good news for Star Alliance travelers departing London's Heathrow Airport (LHR) Terminal 2: Two refurbished lounges are opening their doors at the airport.

Singapore Airlines has reopened its SilverKris lounge after six months spent giving it a top-to-tail spruce-up. The terminal already boasts an impressive United Club, Maple Leaf Lounge and Lufthansa Lounge. So, passengers with Star Alliance Gold status (including United Premier and above), as well as business-class and first-class passengers, are now spoiled for choice.

Ahead of the public opening, TPG was invited to preview the renovated lounge. It is split in half to feature business-class and first-class sides, and is now arguably the best lounge option in Terminal 2.

In fact, the first-class lounge is now one of the best airport lounges in the U.K. overall, and it's well worth arriving early for.

The Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge is in Terminal 2B at Heathrow.

To find the entrance, look for the signage to the Singapore Airlines and Air Canada lounges between gates B35 and B36. Terminal 2B is where all Singapore Airlines and most other Terminal 2 long-haul flights depart.

It requires a decent walk from the main building of Terminal 2 (Terminal 2A), where passengers pass through security and depart on short-haul flights to Europe.

If you are departing on a flight from the A gates and wish to visit the Singapore Airlines lounges, you can do so. However, allow at least 15 minutes to get back to the A gates from the lounge via the underground walkway.

The Singapore Airlines lounges are upstairs. At the top of the elevator or stairs, turn left for the Air Canada lounge or right for the Singapore Airlines lounges.

Both SilverKris sides of the lounge are open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, which covers all Star Alliance departures from Terminal 2.

Both refreshed sides of the lounge reflect the airline's "Home Away From Home" concept. Modernized lounge features and a new dining menu offer customers more luxury and comfort, which provides a sense of home.

Only a handful of flights with a first-class cabin depart Terminal 2 each day. So, the first-class lounge, which can accommodate 50 guests at a time, will rarely be full. This means it'll almost always offer a relaxing and sophisticated
