Cowshed in Shoreditch

A popular chain of boutique spas across London ever since their launch in 1998, the Cowshed in Shoreditch, east London might be slightly out of your way, but justifies the detour with its laidback and luxurious vibe. Their treatments range from mani-pedis, to facials and body massages—you should definitely try the facial (a favourite with regulars for its fantastic results) and the Cowgroom (where two therapists working in unison to dispel the tension and knots in your body)—which will leave you feeling weightless afterwards. In addition to the relaxation rooms and pamper stations, this outlet also houses a little café serving tea and cake—it’s quaint and oh-so-British—so head there on a Sunday with the girls, for a day of social grooming. Buy some of their grooming products to use at home on your way out.
