The Bath House — Banya London LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM
The Bath House — Banya London is not a typical spa. It draws on and updates a centuries-old bathing tradition to offer visitors an experience that’s authentic, restorative and social. The banya is the Slavic cousin of the Finnish
sauna and Turkish hammam. Uniting the elements of fire, water and wood, it has a deep connection to nature, and a visit to The Bath House is a refuge from the intensity of the urban environment outside. The banya has enormous physical and mental health benefits, and if you’re looking for somewhere to spend time with friends, to celebrate a birthday or just to unwind alone, The Bath House is the perfect place. The Bath House is situated near Buckingham
Palace in London. The premises used to be a bank and now guests can enjoy the healing banya steam in what was once the bank’s vault — and relax in the bank manager’s office. The ambience of the banya is felt in every detail, from the warming aroma of heat to the gorgeous mosaics and ancient washbasins throughout the space.
The Bath House comprises a public (shared) and
private banya (for groups of up to eight people) and caters for every guest and occasion. After relaxing in the log-cabin steam rooms with handmade ceramic stoves, guests can brace themselves for the contrast of a tipping bucket or a dip in the ice-cold plunge pool. They can then enjoy treatments such as organic scrubs, massages and the signature ‘parenie’ ritual — a steam massage performed with soaked oak, birch and eucalyptus leaves. All treatments are available for couples in the double treatment rooms. The banya is a place to socialise, too. The Bath
House has the atmosphere of a club, somewhere to visit with friends and family. After enjoying the steam and treatments, visitors can relax in the lounge area and enjoy a freshly cooked Eastern European meal. The menu includes perennial favourites such as Ukrainian borsch and pelmeni (dumplings) and a selection of delicious homemade soft drinks, including kvas (fermented drink made from rye bread) and sea- buckthorn juice.
