Richard Ward Hair & Metrospa
This luxurious salon is not the sort of place you’ll want to leave in a hurry, but if you have to, its ‘super-fast blowdries’ are just that. Costing £40, they’re a guaranteed 30 minutes from start to finish.

Massage
Anita Cox Salon

Anita Cox Salon, 62 Britton St, EC1 (020 7251 8220/ www.anitacox.co.uk) Farringdon tube.
Elemis Day-spa

Human Nature

Spa Illuminata
This Mayfair spa may look grand, but is very approachable. Its four-hand massage (with two therapists working simultaneously) is heavenly.
