I don't think you pay ?95 to just sit in a steam room for an hour or so? It's a treatment innit? If you go and get a treamment (honey and melon with fried pancetta yogic stone facial wrap or similar) anywhere else it's going to cost you at least ?30 / half hour.


Not that it's my exact area of expertise, but with Christmas coming I write in anticipation of my annual gift-related fleecing in the area.

For steam and hot tubs I usually go to the excellent Spa's in Ironmonger Row Baths, Marshall Street Baths and Wimbledon. Most of them offer treatments too if you want. Its actually surprisingly luxurious for a council run place with chill out room providing magazines,Ice shower, jacuzzi,sauna and steam-Its around ?30.

I went to the Porchester Halls in Bayswater a few weeks back and it was ?35 for the day which included a scrub. It's ?28 for the day without the scrub.

There is a huge chill out space with loungers and magazines and food to order which is really cheap. There are several steam rooms, a series of hot rooms and plunge pools. I wouldn't call it high end luxury as its council run but it felt like the real deal ( like I was in Morrocco!)

I can't really see the allure of a place that only let's you stay for an hour or so and I certainly wouldn't be paying ?90 for the privilege of doing so!

Just searched and found this thread on the hammam spa on Forest Hill Road . I haven't been yet but have just booked for later in the month cos they have a promotion for October where the silver package which is usually ?90 is ?49 so going to give it a whirl while it's on offer. below is what's included in silver package.

The silver package you will be bathed in warmth as you relaxed in the steam room; followed by a full body exfoliation using a traditional methods and a deep cleansing wash with our signature organic Hammam soap. Besides all these we also provide you with Jacuzzi or Body Mask, facial mask, then moved to relaxation room and further will be served by Moroccan tea and Coffee.

I've been a few times, love it there, the people are very friendly (although the changing rooms are a bit on the small side) and there's a salon next door if you want beauty or hair appointments (you get a discounted rate if you've been in the hammam beforehand)...

I went on my own this evening and it was an amazing experience. They staff are very professional and I felt totally relaxed. There is a male and a female therapist. I got the ?35 group on package and was there over an hour. I would have paid full price it was that good. I wore a bikini and brought my own towel. There are lockers provided for valuables. They do supply "wet" shoes and Turkish towels. The steam room, scrub, bubbles, massage and hair washing felt luxurious and relaxing and I have never felt so clean. Then after you get taken to a relaxation room for traditional mint tea and Turkish delight.

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
