“May the steam be with you”.
Banya No.1 is the first of its kind in the UK and brings Russia’s oldest and most popular wellness traditions to the capital. Being not your typical spa experience, it features authentic Russian steam sauna, plunge pool, hot stone and treatment rooms and a R & R area with traditional food & drinks. It’s social as well as private. The service is friendly and personal and Banya is open to both members and non-members. We offer a selection of wellness & spa treatments, with ingredients strictly natural and organic and prepared on the premises.
The key signature treatment is Parenie – an invigorating thermal massage, that uses leafy and fragrant bundle of birch, oak or eucalyptus twigs.
This process is quite intense and it’s not about slashing you with oak and birch leaves, but rather working the steam around you to warm you up so deep that you feel the need to plunge into the chilled water afterwards. The contrast causes release of adrenalin and stress hormones and immense invigoration that follows. It boosts your blood circulation and relieves tension and stress.
“And then it happened, the weird but natural high, a mind-expanding, worry-numbing, explosive exhilaration that surges through your being all the way to your core. It’s authentic, unexpected and will leave you buzzing so hard you’ll want to book the whole place for your next birthday party” – review by Emma Freud, LUXX Magazine, The Times.
Apart from Parenie we offer traditional and organic treatments such as Honey & Salt Scrub, Coffee Scrub, Body Wash, Aloe Vera Body Mask, Mud Wraps and Russian Healing Massage.

- Use the wristband to secure your belongings in a locker and then, covering yoursellf in a towel, head to the Banya / wet area.
- Put on a felt hat to prevent overheating and then enter the steam room for no more than 10 minutes on the first go. Sit or lie down on your towel.
- Afterwards, take a luke-warm or cool shower and head to the lounge area where staff will show you your table. Relax, cool down and re-hydrate.
- Over the course of your session our therapists will invite you to your treatments.
- Repeat the10-minute visits to the steam room with 20-30 minute breaks in between.
- After Parenie or your 2nd visit it is the right time for a splash of refreshing cold water from the buckets or an electrifying and invigorating dip in the icy cold plunge pool (please take a shower before).
- After your treatments, you can order and enjoy traditional Russian food and drinks, to keep your hydration and electrolyte balance.
Do not rush and don’t overdo it. Take regular breaks from the steam room to rehydrate and cool down in the lounge.
