Cloudy Fitness and Grooming
At the top of many people’s wish list is the ability to jump out of bed looking impossibly fresh, rested, ironed, fit and groomed. It's a lovely dream that will always be a total fantasy. The best turned-out among us know all too well – it takes work to achieve that effortlessly groomed appearance.
The Powder Room (ladies)
Ever found yourself hurtling from meeting to business lunch to meeting to office and then being expected to go out, with no time to change, freshen up or at the very least, compose yourself? If you find yourself in this situation in central London, simply head off to the Powder Room on Oxford Street. £5 buys you entry into a haven of hairdryers, luxury products, changing space and showers. Don't be surprised if a new you emerge from its blissful interior.
51 Buckingham Gate
Most serviced apartments and hotels have access to gyms, but if you find yourself out on a limb with – shock, horror – no gym facilities, we suggest 51 Buckingham Gate. Just £10 allows you entry to a well-equipped gym, good shower and towel facilities, and a whole range of spa options for the day.
The Refinery (men)
Described as a "1-stop grooming emporium for men" The Refinery operates from Harrods in Knightsbridge and on Brook Street in Mayfair. Pop in for barbering, skincare and spa treatments in the comfortable atmosphere of a gentlemen's club. You'll leave feeling fresh, revitalized and ready to take on the world.
The Nail Lounge
Currently the most fashionable kid on the beauty block, The Nail Lounge caters for men and women. The experience is one of pampering and indulgence. Ladies are invited to kick back over a glass of wine and a manicure, pedicure or beauty treatment. Gentlemen can get a manicure or pedicure while enjoying a complimentary glass of wine or beer. Perfect!
Geo F Trumper (men)
Nothing says unkempt, uncorporate and scruffy like hair that needs cutting and non-designer stubble. It's a problem that city gents have experienced for generations – but has become less of a issue since 1875 when Geo F Trumper opened their first shop. Still London's favourite barber, the 2 Geo F Trumper shops continue to meet the grooming needs of busy gentlemen from all walks of life.
