The Best Places to Get a Massage in London

Best For Deep Tissue: Feel the Tension Melt Away

Al is not your average massage therapist. A deep tissue specialist who works your body harder than ever, he’s strong and tall with the presence of a Shakespearean actor. On a massage table that’s supremely comfortable, his bodywork is like a dance. Ella Fitzgerald’s music accompanies the massage, and he applies generous amounts of sunflower oil for optimum gliding. Then, masterfully, using long, slow strokes (and precise elbow positioning as needed), he gently eases tightness using long, slow strokes. The trunk can be done in 90 minutes (back, glutes, shoulders, and chest, which he advises is the key to correcting poor posture and opening up the chest) – and because he’s charming and funny, the hour and a half fly by. The next time you see him, don’t expect soft and sleepy (he can do it, obviously, but you won’t get the same benefit) – but go with an open mind; and a determination to have your tight shoulders fixed. You’ll feel lighter and looser after the massage and tell everyone you know about him the next day.

Best For Lymphatic Drainage: Ricari Studio Signature Massage at The Nomad

The first Ricari Studio in the UK is located at one of Covent Garden’s trendiest hotels, The NoMad, rather fittingly for a New York import. Anna Zahn’s brainchild took up residence in one of the holding cells of a former magistrate’s court. Formerly used as holding cells for girls (including Vivienne Westwood), the cells are now leased by female-owned businesses, including one owned by Vivienne Westwood. The Ricari Clinic was established over a decade ago and specialized in lymphatic drainage – a procedure that helps invigorate the body and reduce water retention, leaving you feeling energized and lighter. In a spa setting, medical-grade equipment is used to create a unique blend of relaxation and rejuvenation so that you actively feel like you are reaping the benefits. We’ll ask you to put on your bodysuit first – which you can keep – before lying down on the massage table (warmed to your desired temperature). After that, your therapist will use a machine that sounds like a vacuum cleaner and feels like a vacuum cleaner, with infra-red intensifying the effect.

Best Mobile Massage: A Luxury Treatment from Home

Getting a good massage used to be a challenge. After finding Carlie, we haven’t looked back. You will receive spine-tinglingly good deep tissue massage from your scalp all the way down to the soles of your feet by our bodyworker, personal trainer, or mobile therapist, who will arrive at your house with the requisite treatment table, towels, and oils (coconut, rosemary or lavender). The type of massage she uses blends long strokes with focused kneading and moments when she presses firmly, on a single point, to release tension. She might even use her lava shells, which warm the muscles, allowing her to manipulate them more freely. The sensation as the blood rushes back, bringing life to locked-in shoulders and necks, is astonishing – you will hear your bones click, your ears pop, and your stomach gurgle.
