I do love a pamper session, well I say that but what I really mean is that I enjoy a steam and sauna after a work out! However for the purposes of this review I will impart my more luxurious experience at this tucked treat. The East River Spa is delectable. It’s not very big but I think that adds to it’s charm. Set out east in Blackwall, its relaxation room over looks the Thames and the O2. I have much to tell you about the relaxation room, so more later. ERS is resident on the first floor of the Radisson Edwardian Hotel where it shares it’s home with the hotel gym. As you may have guessed from the name, the Spa has a Eastern theme which is also reflected on the menu of treatments. Kitted out with 5 or 6 treatment rooms, a steam room, sauna, an ice fountain, 6 sensation shower which basically means hot and cold showers with different pressure and of course the panoramic relaxation room. I love this room! It has heated stone beds that are curved to the contour of your body. It such a comforting feeling and many a person have been visited by the sandman whilst relaxing. Depending on the treatment you have there is the option of champagne and strawberries but if you don’t opt for those extras, a sorbet, tea and or water is offered following every treatment. If that is not enough there is ofter a bowl of fresh fruit, nuts, dried fruits, both still and sparking water and a selection of teas that you are free to help yourself to. Finally there is also a small private steam room which is used for couple and steam based treatments. So for those of you who like a naked steam it might be both booking yourself in and not scaring the general public! It’s happened I promise: o| The ladies at the spa a amazing, helpful friendly and some are now my friends. It’s actually quite a nice thing to do if you have evening plans at the 02. All robes, slipper, shower gel, shampoo, towels etc are provided so all you need is to pop you cozzie in your handbag and you’re set. Forgive me male readers that was a little sexist, if you have a manbag great, if not you might want to been the private steam room!

I have only been to the place once for Ayurvedic massage ritual. It was £95 for about 90mins of treament! It was a good experience, the staffs was nice and helpful and the treatment was fantastice. relaxing and aromatic! The treament consist of massage and a full body exfoliation after that! Love it and will highly recommend it to anyone! The place is generally quite pleasant, lots of mosiac tiles eveyrwhere! Not the best interior but good enough. There are often offers available online, I just saw one on and will probably book it for my next treatment.
