G lam, slick and very cool, this is the absolute cat’s pyjamas of London spas, on the lower floor of a phenomenal classical building by Sir Edwin “Ned” Lutyens, constructed as the Midland Bank HQ in the 1920s. The global great and good rock up to stay, eat and spa at the Ned, now one of the hottest hotels (and members’ clubs) in town. It draws London’s movers and shakers too, many dressed up to the nines for cocktails in the old bank vault at night, returning by day for tweakments in the downstairs spa, which feels like backstage vintage Hollywood, with a dark, luxurious pool area.
Standards of treatments (and therefore prices) are high, but this is an intoxicating place to chill and be seen..
