TESTIMONIALS

CH

Great experience – friendly staff – clean – peaceful – parenie was a fantastic experience – best honey and salt scrub (felt lighter afterwards)! Would definitely return.

Rhiannon Llewellyn

Absolutely outstanding experience. Went to Banya with my husband and we left feeling like we’d had a week’s holiday. Had the most incredible scrub/massage with Mikhail – probably the best I’ve ever had.

Amanda Forsyth

We had a fantastic first visit! Highly recommend the parenie experience (very unique and invigorating), and their massage therapist was incredible. The space is quite small, so the capacity is low which makes the experience much more relaxing than other spas I’ve visited.

Claire Plastow

Really loved my spa at Banya No.1. The first time i’ve had a russian spa and i really enjoyed it. The vibe is relaxed but great quality. The staff are plentiful and very on it, you don’t need to worry as a first timer. From the fun sauna hats to the birch branch routine and the delicious food eve…

Jennifer Houghton

Amazing Banya experience super clean, friendly staff highly recommend.

Tatiana Titova

Not sure what I love more – the banya itself or the food there 🙂

GirthQuake

What can I say … I had given up on enjoying myself in the UK, but that was until I visited this banya. I had such an AMAZING time from start until finish.

Will Irlam

Had such a great, relaxing morning here. Will definitely be back. Thanks guys!

Ezgi Sarikcioglu

Probably the hottest and definitely the best spa of the UK!

Petar Agbaba

Great experience as ever at Banya! Very welcoming and more importantly very relaxing! Getting the Parenie is a must! But now I would also suggest adding the massage too… You will leave the Banya so relaxed and happy believe me!

alicky gravell

I absolutely love this place, Deeply detoxing and refreshing. Some quiet time and body healing time. The scrub is the best scrub ever. Lovely guiding staff who look after you. I will book monthly with friends and family to enjoy the 3 hrs of selfcare.

Anne LS

I enjoyed my experience at Banya No. 1. I tried the silver package, which lasted around 3h but time went by quickly. The parenie treatment is unlike anything I’ve experienced before! I felt very relaxed afterwards and recommend this place for a treat, regular care or a fun afternoon with friends….

Pete Park

The overall experience and customer service was exceptional. It was our first time at the Banya, visiting London from the States. The staff and spa is high recommended from a Sauna/Cold Plunge Connoisseur.

Leslie Kulesh

Absolutely loved it. All the treatments were great and there was time to do the steam and plunge as much as I wanted. The eating area is gorgeous and the food was delicious. I can’t wait to return.

Anton Puzorjov

Is Banya the same as Sauna?

A banya is very similar to a sauna. Russian banya and Fninish sauna are both traditional forms of bathing and relaxation. However, there are several differences between the two: Banya (a Russian type of sauna) has a high humidity of around 40-60%. The Finnish sauna, on the other hand, is very dry. Humidity is kept very low, 5-10% only. However, the temperature inside the sauna can be much higher – typically around 90°C. Typically, the temperature in Banya is kept around 70°С. Read more in Blog.

What can I expect when I visit?

A warm welcome – whether visiting us for the first time, or as an old friend, banya is always an inviting and open place. It is a place of relaxation and rejuvenation and our friendly staff are always on hand to advise, so don’t be shy, especially if this is a new experience for you. They can advise you on the best treatments for you, and guide you through your visit.

Allow yourself 3 hours or so for your visit – you will not want to leave in a hurry!

Have a look around the website and please do call us if you have any particular questions or concerns.

How hot is the banya?

Banya steam rooms are maintained at around 70°C – a little cooler than an average sauna, but remember that it is not a ‘dry’ air – there is high humidity.

It is this combination of heat and steam that creates the ideal banya environment. You can come and go from the steam rooms as you wish, to ensure you remain comfortable at all times.

What is Parenie?

Parenie is an invigorating leaf and steam treatment, massaging with bunches of oak, birch, and eucalyptus leaves (these are called veniks). Sweeping movements with the veniks draws down superheated steam across your body. Directly after this, you plunge into icy cold water; the sudden contrast in temperature improves your circulation, relieves muscle tension and helps the body detox. Many find it incredibly mentally stimulating.

What other treatments are there?

We have a full range of massage, and body and skin treatments, which will leave your body and mind feeling amazing. Here are more details on all our treatments.

Is it best to book in advance?

Usually, yes to avoid disappointment, as we limit visitor numbers to ensure that everyone has the space to relax and fully enjoy their experience. We take bookings for individuals and groups of all sizes, so give us a call and let us know when you want to come along.

Can I book a treatment on the day?

We understand that plans change – so we will always do our best to accommodate any last minute requests. In return, we ask that you be understanding if we cannot always accommodate these during busy periods.

It is always best to book treatments in advance, to ensure you receive all the treatments that you are wanting.

Can I book a private booth in the relaxation lounge?

We have a variety of booths and seating areas in the relaxation lounge. We do our best to accommodate specific requests, but at busy times, seating will be allocated according to group sizes, to ensure everyone is comfortable.

What should I bring when I come to banya?

Come along with your swimming costume and, if you have them, a pair of flip-flops. Swimming costumes are required for all mixed sessions (no exceptions). These are optional if you have booked a single-gender visit – for those you may wear your costume or not, however you feel most comfortable. Flip-flops may be purchased from Reception if needed – they are required as the wet floors can be slippery.

You may also bring toiletries such as soap or shampoo if you prefer, but this is not necessary as everything else you need is provided.

Can I bring children?

Yes! Children over the age of 16 are welcome – but please remember you are responsible for them and their behaviour during your visit.
