What should you try?
If you consider yourself a bit of a wellness nerd like me, then prepare to be dazzled. There’s so many new things to try here (venom back therapy anyone?), that quite honestly the spa menu can seem overwhelming at first. With hundreds of dried flowers hanging from the ceiling and jars of herbs and spices lining the walls, the alchemy bar is, however, an absolute must visit. After a thorough consultation with the in-house herbalist, a custom natural remedy will be formulated in front of your eyes, a truly fascinating experience. If you’re not ready to trade in your conventional supplements just yet however, then start with the signature lymphatic massage, a treatment created in collaboration with cult integrative facialist Annee de Mamiel (Sienna Miller is a fan) who has made aromatherapeutic oils that are exclusive to the spa.

How environmentally friendly is it?
As well as having over 10,000 square feet of wild green rooftop space, Six Senses London works with local organizations dedicated to urban rewilding, planting and the protection of what are known as pollinator corridors: green pathways through the city that serve as essential refueling pit stops for butterflies and bees. There’s a sustainable bent to both restaurants on the property too, with 80% of the food sourced within a 100 mile radius. If you can spare the time, it’s worth booking lunch or dinner between treatments. With all manner of delicious homemade fermented foods on the menu, including miso and kombucha, eating here is also a boon for your gut health.
What else do we need to know?
Though you don’t need to be a member to book a spa treatment here, there is an application-only private social club called Six Senses Place geared toward wellness for those looking to become spa regulars.
