Top Places To Relax with Sound Healing in London
London is a city of constant movement. Tubes and trains rattle until the early hours, bars and pubs pulsate with chatter and music, and there's a lingering hum that's almost impossible to escape.

Perhaps as an antidote to London's endless buzz, a new crop of wellness spaces have started to emerge, including dedicated HYROX spaces, HIIT classes, hot yoga pods and outdoor saunas. In and amongst this newness, London has also embraced sound healing - the therapeutic use of sounds and vibrations to promote physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.

Review of The Luxury Insider: AIRE Ancient Baths
It’s Monday morning and I’m floating in a warm salt bath surrounded by flickering candlelight and tall rustic archways under London’s ancient streets. I really am in heaven! Next, it’s time for a hot stream and some cold therapy in the plunge pool, set to 10C, before a full body massage and glass of fizz. I’ve had worse Monday mornings. Luxury spas are my ultimate indulgence, there is nothing better than some uninterrupted ‘me time’, so when I heard that AIRE were opening their first London baths, a stone's throw from Covent Garden I couldn’t wait to visit. Inspired by the ancient tradition of Roman baths, AIRE Ancient Baths London reimagines the classic pastime of soaking in thermal waters, but with a twist. Already found in the likes of New York, Chicago, Copenhagen and Spain, AIRE’s approach is all about updating the concept of ‘water for wellness’ for a modern audience, marrying age-old traditions within cutting-edge spaces.
