Unless anything has changed recently, when you use the showers in the arrivals lounge, you can put your shirt etc on a hanger on a 2-way door in the shower room. They then press it and return it within a few minutes.

Yes it’s still available. The buttons on the doors can be unreliable so worth mentioning it to the attendant when you get allocated your shower room.
Edit to add: talking about Arrivals lounge. I don’t believe it’s available at the departures lounges.

It's only Arrivals. You can go via Arrivals if you have entry rights to the UK, particularly if you have a passport which can use the e-gates, it may not add any time to the overall process. Welcome to Flyertalk and welcome to the BA forum.

Assuming the OP is arriving on a long-haul flight in Club World or First, or is OWE.

Thank all of you for the information, which has made me think a bit. Had planned on the departure lounge but would the arrivals be preferred. We have a bit of a time crunch. Arrive at 06:30 and depart 9:05. We are continuing to Cyprus and will not need to retrieve luggage. Pressing of clothes would certainly be nice but not imperative. We are in Business Class.
