I'm looking for a modern-day 'Sanctuary' (since the one in Covent Garden closed) for myself and some girlfriends to have a pampering day out together. Either in London or short-ish train/car journey away. I've found the Old Street one that has been recommended previously, which looks great, but it would be good to give my friends a choice.


There was a similar thread not that long ago, but I can't find it (anyone else find the search function a bit hit and miss on here?!).


Any day spa suggestions (or a link to the other thread) would be very gratefully recieved. Thanks!

There is York Spa (not the most luxurious, but easy to get to in Bethnal Green via the Overground... and you are right in walking distance from Hoxton/Shoreditch for a fabulous lunch/cocktails afterwards. You can book a 2-3 hour slot where you get to use the steam rooms, sauna's, there's an area where you can lounge on sunbeds and drink tea. (I think its about ?27 for the time in the spa, or they have packages as well which are all inclusive of use of spa and a treatment) You can book different treatments, and I have found them to be of a really good standard.

Was it this thread? http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?29,982460,982885#msg-982885


or this one? http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?29,880313,880486#msg-880486


I have since been to two of the spas I was hankering after - Corinthia and Coworth Park - and can highly recommend both if you really want to treat yourself. My sister and I bought each other a day together at the Corinthia for Christmas this year and on a cold wet January Monday spent hours and hours on the heated marble cleopatra beds - really blissful!

    • Looking for a battery operated cat feeder please.
    • Half my family are medics, going back generations, and none of them would ever have gone, or would now go, on strike. I know times have changed, but my family knew what they were signing up for, and accepted the detriment to their families and the hours (which, in the junior years, were way longer when they are now)... because it was not only a vocation, but a stable career for life. And they felt a genuine duty of care to their patients, whom they often put before their own children.  I can only conclude that entry-level junior doctors are more entitled these days. Plus, it's insensitive to nurses, who really do deserve a lot more money and recognition.  There are issues other than pay, like the lack of available posts, and having to move around the country, but they can be improved without a strike.  I don't think the right people are being recruited into the profession anymore. We're all on lower wages and paying more tax than we were ten years ago, but many of us just have to suck it up, work our socks off and get on with it.   
    • Beglfire I start, I have a lot of respect for Doctors and owe my life to them after various mishaps over the years.  I am however getting a jaded view of them continuing to run the strike ballot next week in the middle of what is turning into a bad winter for the NHS. Of course they may vote to not strike, but personally feel it is irresponsible timing to consider it as hospitals are already struggling.  Today the BMA warned of scaremongering over the current flu outbreak (BBC News - BMA warns of flu 'scaremongering' ahead of doctor strikes - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y22yzl6y6o) but just seeing how many people I know are going down with it, that feels like poor spin by the BMA. How do others feel ?   
    • We have also used Niko the plumber, he was great, fixed both of our leaking toilets and was also super helpful with advice about the shower leaking.
