Amazing (Thai) Chair Massage from Maria, she really knows how to knead out those knots and make you feel completely relaxed. Can't wait to go back!

Walked in. Got seen straight away. Genghis (sp??) was fantastic!! Place was clean and pleasant. Massage was exactly what I needed. Thank you

I happened to walk by after a particularly painful red-eye flight, and asked for a 10-minute back massage. It was such a perfectly relaxing but also strong massage, the Japanese massage therapist was also so nice! I just wish I had time for a longer massage.

Went on a Bank Holiday Monday around lunchtime and was so relieved they were open. I received a wonderful chair massage from a lovely therapist - intuitive, strong, and effective. I didn't catch her name but I remember her saying that she only works at this location on Mondays. I returned later in the week and had another chair massage from a different therapist, who was not really my style. So my recommendation is to definitely visit this location, but preferably on a Monday.

If you would like a decent shiatsu massage then I recommend you ask for Kevin, great guy with lots of knowledge with the ability to help you where you need to get to, 1st time I’ve had one but I know Kevin through having acupuncture, equally another great treatment.

Fantastic place for a quick massage. If you're someone who gets full body massages and then wishes the whole time was spent on your tight shoulders, this is a much better shout. My massage was with Christian who was friendly, professional and clearly very knowledgeable about areas of tension and how to loosen them. I paid £26 for a 20 minute back/shoulder massage. Very reasonable for somewhere so central. Highly recommended

Anika was great- so friendly and I felt so relaxed after the massage. We had a rude customer who didn't understand that he couldn't book but she took it in her stride. Would definitely come again when in the area!

First experience getting a massage, really enjoyed it. Went in with an extremely stiff neck from sitting at a desk masseuse managed to make a huge difference even within the 20 minute timeframe. Location and massage are very no-frills - in the best way possible. Efficient, effective massage and excellent service.

★★★★★★★★★★Sarah NelsonSep 2021

Excellent shiatsu for an hour with Vijay, no booking needed. Worth every penny. What a treat! Also reliably decent seated massage available usually without a wait. Worth a visit. They are well qualified therapists who have good skills and experience.

★★★★★★★★★★Per HansenAug 2021

Location is fine and massage here is usually very good. They started doing foot rubs, my foot rub was incredibly relaxing. You have to sit in a flimsy camping chair though! Not one of those big comfy chairs you get at Chinese foot massage places. They left the door open since it was warm weather but that also means you get all the noise from the restaurant opposite, not exactly relaxing. I had a 20 min foot rub and 20 min back rub and both were really nice and made me feel so much better afterwards.
