Spa Etiquette Tips for London Visitors
London spa culture is relaxed but polished.
We suggest you arrive at least 15 minutes early for your appointment to allow time for check-in and changing. Most spas provide robes, towels, and slippers, but swimwear is typically required in shared areas like pools and steam rooms.
Silence or low voices are expected in treatment zones, and tipping is appreciated in London, but not obligatory (10–15% is standard if service exceeds expectations).
If you’re unsure about local customs, simply ask at reception—they’re used to international guests.
Best Time to Book a Spa Stay in London
For the best value, book midweek stays—Monday to Thursday often brings discounted rates and quieter facilities.
January to March and mid-September to early November are typically lower in demand, offering better availability and potential package deals.
Weekends and peak holiday seasons (especially December) see higher prices and fuller bookings, so plan ahead.
Many luxury spa hotels release seasonal offers or last-minute packages, so signing up for newsletters or checking midweek flash sales can be worthwhile.
Do You Need to Stay Overnight to Use the Spas?
Not always. Many of London’s top spa hotels offer day passes or allow non-residents to book treatments, though access to thermal areas or pools may be limited to guests or subject to a fee.
Some properties offer half-day spa packages with access included, while others reserve facilities strictly for overnight guests. Always check in advance—policies vary by hotel and may change during peak periods.
Can Non-Residents Book Treatments?
Yes—in most cases, non-residents are welcome to book treatments, especially during off-peak hours.
Hotels like The Langham, The Connaught, and Mandarin Oriental allow external guests to reserve massages, facials, and beauty services, though access to pools, steam rooms, or lounges may be restricted or cost extra.
Booking ahead is strongly recommended, especially at high-end spas or weekends.
Which Spa Hotels Are Adults-Only?
While fully adults-only spa hotels are rare in London, several properties maintain adults-only hours or zones for a quieter experience.
The Spa at The Beaumont and ESPA Life at Corinthia often limit spa access to guests aged 16+ or 18+, especially in thermal areas.
Boutique spas like Silver Bullet Spa (Alexandra Palace) cater to couples or private bookings, offering romantic, child-free settings. Always check the hotel’s policy—some family-friendly properties do permit children during certain hours.
