The Bath House — Banya London

this year has been BRUTAL to say the least … so being whipped with leaves in a boiling room might not sound like a relaxing experience. But believe me it is! The bath house has it all: fluffy robes, hunky banshiks (the aforementioned leaf beaters), cosy booths, a cold plunge, restorative food (including caviar and shots of vodka), steam room, ice bucket showers, the Full Monty…. I love the social aspect (booking with a friend/partner) and spending a couple of hours hidden away, phone locked in the changing room, sweating out the toxins and brain rot from your body and soul. truly the perfect antidote to feeling burned out. I always leave reborn. Book in advance and reserve your treatments in advance as the place is small and v popular (justin bieber is a fan). a great gift for someone who has it all. 10/10 top pick of the year
