Situated in a very scenic part of Richmond,neatly wedged inbetween the designer boutiques Body Experience's glass fronted exterior did not prepare me for the exquisite treatment rooms concealed within this upmarket Spa. The Spa is the epitome of luxury right down its fluffy soft bathrobes and pleasent aromas escaping into the corridors of the building.

They offer some of the best facial treatments ranging from Thalgo,Li Tiya,Elemis,Shishedio and La Therapie. For a complete body overhaul I booked in for one of their tailored to your needs experience called The Dreaming which consisted of everything from a mud-wrap to a head massage and cost 225.00 pounds. Having undergone the treatment it left me feeling like a different person. All the products used in the delivery of the treatment can be bought from their shop on the lower ground floor.

There is also a seperate floor for express treatments such as eyebrow shaping at 15 pounds. If however you wish to work up a sweat before treating yourself then book a personal training session at the studio at the back of the Spa at 600 pounds for 10 sessions. There is more good news to follow, in 2008 the owners are going to be trialing a Life-style Clinic which will specialise in non-invasive treatments like Endermologie at 65 pounds for 35 minutes.
