Thinking of bringing a little self care into your strategy session? Take your colleague or client to a day spa
London: The Porchester Spa, Bayswater
The oldest spa in London, it recently underwent an £800,000 refurbishment to restore it to its original Art Deco splendour. In a spectacular Grade II listed building from 1929, guests are transported back to a bygone era in a space filled with original purpose-built spa features, rather than five-star luxury. A literal hotspot for locals, this spa offers affordable treatments, including bamboo massages, Bellabaci cupping, CBD massages, facials and more.

London: The OWO Guerlain Spa, Whitehall
Where luxury and history truly collide, the eagerly awaited opening of this Raffles’ outpost following a conversion of Britain’s Old War Office cost a rumoured £1.4bn. OWO also features the capital’s first dedicated Guerlain spa. Housed in the landmark 1906 building where Sir Winston Churchill once wandered, chomping on his cigar, this spa sprawls over four floors. As is befitting of the setting and the high-end French heritage brand – one of the oldest skincare houses in the world – the vibe here is all traditional elegance and understated opulence.
