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!

    • The Cornish Gouda was featured in an early episode of 'Rick Stein's Cornwall'. It's actually made by a Dutch family who moved here. The series is being repeated on BBC2 at the moment, so it's probably available on the iPlayer. Cheese Block stock a great 'Old Amsterdam' aged Gouda, if you can bring yourself to go in, or M&S do one made with Jersey milk. I've never found the Cheese Block all that grumpy. I think they just get a bit frustrated when it's busy and people don't know what they want. It's not ideal, but I try to go in when it's quiet if I'm undecided, and they're almost friendly. Here's a link to the Rick Stein show. It'll be available soon, apparently. Hopefully it'll help you track down the Gouda.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000qzxr  
    • It’s Mons all the way for us. Super friendly. And they know their customers . They even asked me why I bought so much Comté. LOL. This is the cheese from my area in France  and I eat it without thinking. I LOVE their Fourme  d’Ambert, one of the oldest cheeses in France. Much creamier than Roquefort and much cheaper too. Also love their selection of goats cheese - and the fact that they regularly discount cheeses that have ripened a bit too much, which is how I like my cheese. Been lobbying them to make Fromage Fort, which is a hit like potted cheese. You take old leftover cheeses and ferment them in white wine. If other Burgundians are in the area, please join the lobbying effort.  Heritage cheese used to sell an absolutely amazing Gouda from Cornwall and I really enjoyed this but they’ve stopped selling it.  Can’t comment on Cheese Block - so grumpy in there I’ve stopped going in. Perhaps I’m missing out.       
    • Yes, but I remember it fromages ago.
