One Day. Relaxation at Spa London, Kensington

London makes me feel like a bit of an energiser bunny. What with work and play, honestly it's just always go-go-go in this city.

But unlike the famed bunnies' batteries who never say die, I often feel like I need a recharge. Queue lush spa day to pamper and preserve.

Spa London venues are dotted all around London, and last week ahead of my trip to the Greek Islands, I took myself off to the one in Kensington for some indulgence. This newly opened branch is renowned for their thermal spa experience - a mixture of hot and cold treatments to refresh and reinvigorate. And ladies it's said to help banish cellulite too!

The suggested order of treatments will take you from sizzling to shivering but it sure did awaken my senses. First the steam room, then the sauna, then an ice rub, then a monsoon shower and finally a good soak in the hot tub.

A quick nap in the relaxation room to the tunes of my favourite pianist Ludovico Einaudi (great music choice guys) and then I was ready for my total spa experience with an exfoliation (holiday skin get ready to tan!), facial and hot stone massage. I hadn't experienced Elemis products before but I must say they are divine; the exfoliation was done with coconut and thus quite gentle with a heavenly scent.

Needless to say I left feeling as lithe as melted butter and smelling like a tropical holiday. Thank you for having me. Find your nearest venue here and book your treatment today.
