Yes at heathrow you actually do go through security a second time. If you happen to buy duty free in YVR ask them to seal it in the security bag as you are going through heathrow.
I don't know about lounges. I just shop. And remember, it can sometimes take a long time to cross terminal 3 with security and distance

...and it can't be anything liquidy as they will confiscate it. They have much stricter checks through security, you do have to have your cosmetics in a plastic bag, while you don't in CAN and the US. These days London is incredibly strict at checkpoints at the airport. Heathrow is a huge airport - it takes time to move between terminals.

Thank you I know Heathrow is a huge airport. I’ve been it’s just been a few years. I know I have enough time but I also wanted peoples opinions on lounges. I will have a short flight after London arriving at my final destination at around the 10pm. I won’t probably eat anything when I arrive as it will be late. Hence the reason why I asked about the lounges

We were thru last fall, if I remember rightly there were two lounges one called Club something and one called ?No 1 I think - they were about $40 at that time for a 3 hour stay

Layover at London Heathrow Terminal 3 (LHR)
You mentioned that you're flying from Vancouver (YVR) to London Heathrow (LHR) on December 19, arriving at Terminal 3 at 2:30 PM, and your connecting flight with British Airways departs from the same terminal at 7:15 PM. Here's what you need to know:
Security Check
Since you're arriving and departing from the same terminal, you won't need to go through security again. However, it's always a good idea to factor in some extra time for potential queues or any unexpected delays.

Dumb question but I leave YVR December 19 to LHR my flight arrives at 230pm I believe it’s terminal 3 and my connection leaves from terminal 3 I think at 715pm both on british airways. Do I have to go thru security again and what’s the best lounge or dinning in terminal 3?.
