Passport control was quick, then go and pick up bags, walk outside and they had a people directing you to a dedicated counter to...

    Domestic UK Club Europe

    Other beauty of LCY is that its so small you can easily arrive 30 mins before departure and still comfortably make your flight (Checkin/bag drop closes 20 mins prior). This is partially why there are no lounges as its expected people just turn up and go.
