Relax Spa London

An accessible city-centre retreat that does exactly what it says on the tin

Relax Spa London is as unpretentious as they come. The spa’s central Covent Garden location is perfect for tired shoppers, sightseers, office workers, students and just about anyone else who happens to be treading the cobbles nearby.

This is a modern and welcoming spa whose sole purpose is to help you relax. If you are in a rush, just take a seat and enjoy a quick and effective energising chair massage. If you need a full body remedy, try the detox wrap or top to toe intensive treatment.

A couples treatment room is set up for his n’ hers massages, and VIP package deals are available, but this is more of an express spa than a destination day spa. As a result, it is perfect for men (and women) who are making their first foray into the spa experience. Staff are welcoming and unintimidating, and the treatments are professional and classic.

Unlike most central London spas, Relax Spa is open seven days a week so the next time you’re walking by, pop in for a break from the relentless chaos of Covent Garden.

• TREAT YOURSELF:  to a post-shopping, pre-theatre break with an energising chair massage lasting anywhere between 10 and 45 minutes.

• PERFECT FOR:  passers by and tourists who feel the sudden urge for a bit of R n’ R.
