Recently visited Dolphin Spa with three other girlfriends for massages (the "Medina of Relaxation"…read moretreatment, which consists of a 45-minute head and leg massage) and was relatively pleased with the Moroccan-themed facilities, therapists, and the treatment itself. While I wouldn't say that it was the best massage I've ever had in my life, I left feeling relaxed, lighter, and happier. All of my friends agreed, and returned to the relaxation room in a pleasant daze! We were served fresh mint tea after the treatment and a snack of almonds and dates, which was a nice touch. It's a nice little affordable spa in Central London, in a great area, as well.

I had this wonderful opportunity to treat my girlfriend to a spa half day at Spa Verta. We went to…read morethe Crowne Plaza in Battersea were welcomed by the staff there immediately as they were expecting us. The Hotel itself was very well kept, stylish and understated. Battersea and the location itself is a little out of the way but nonetheless a nice area. We went into the spa and knew we both had seperate treatment times, both receving a 55 minute full body massage. The massage itself was great, very thorough and with the choice for the right amount of pressure. I certainly feel younger and spritely as I write this the day after. How long that'll last who knows. The spa facilities were good for both Male & Females. Its fairly small but they feed people through at different times, but never felt overly busy. They have a Sauna, Sanorium and Steam room, alongside footbaths, showers and a 10m Hydrotherapy pool.

The products are nice, the service is good, you feel like you're pampered and the therapist take the time to work on your treatment. They also are friendly and the place is really nice, clean and cosy but not too posh so you definitely feel welcome and relaxed. I will definitely test their other services (massages, facials...) and will update this review accordingly.

I had the 'head in the clouds' head massage and it was only £30 for 30 minutes and it was absolutely beautiful. So relaxing it was almost like a religious experience. They play peaceful music and the rooms have a very clean and peaceful vibe! I'll definitely be back.

The standout is the men's barber - Matt gave me the greatest haircut of my life this past weekend. It's pricey - £220 for a normal trim. But there's nothing normal about Claridges, and there's nothing normal about this haircut, and I would spend that every month if the commute from Miami was not so outlandish. The other thing to note is that the indoor pool has very neat little cabanas to relax in, and that the locker room is the roomiest and coolest on the planet.

But Blue Cow Yoga is a deliciously proper studio. Right in the middle of the city, it's in a fantastic location. Spacious and very North American. You take your shoes off when you enter, help yourself to free tea or water and pad round to the changing rooms, where they have all amenities including hair straighteners. This I like! Also the abundance of lockers to keep your valuables safe are really appreciated. It's a very chill environment, they get the importance of focus and a peaceful vibe. I came for an inversion workshop and was delighted with the teacher and the experience. Mollie, the teacher, was super patient and explained everything very clearly. While she made it look elegant and easy herself, she took the time with all the beginners to make them feel comfortable. The room was very spacious with lots of white wall space to practice against, and plenty of maps, bolsters and blocks. I am definitely planning on coming back for their free yoga week for newcomers and I'd love to try a treatment too, once I recover from this inversion workout!

TREATMENTS. Sorry…read moreto shout. But, seriously...the treatments. I have not been for yoga yet (but I will!) --- and had signed up for updates via their newsletter. As luck would have it last week I received an email from them about 25 quid Bespoke Treatments. Answer to my prayers, little BCY -- answer to my prayers. After being slammed and shoved into planes, delayed in airports, working from bed and overall stress levels escalating, I needed a massage. A good, deep massage. And this is what I got. Which will have hooked me forever, so this marketing campaign to get folks into the studio worked. I'll be a faithful follower of Zoe, who whipped my knotted back and shoulders into shape. Really, very talented. Will be back for the yoga and the massage and the acupuncture -- and whatever else really? Really! It's a beautiful lower level space that feels tranquil and serene amidst the craziness of the City. It's clean, large, spacious, and the staff is friendly without being intrusive. Will return and update about the yoga -- but for now, I can say that I'm feeling mighty fine and relaxed due to that bespoke beatdown. Ahhhhhh.

You have to follow her instructions in preparing and after-care, and if you do you'll get a great professional result. Angela is very friendly and chatty, so the time flies by, and often she works with two of us on the same visit next time will be three or possibly four clients waiting for her! - so I know from other people that it's not just me who appreciates her skills. I can't imagine hiring anyone else while I am in the London area.
