Floatopia Alternative Therapies

Strange but effective!
I initially visualised a room with a mini hot tub kinda set up but it looks more like you’re walking into a submarine compartment… next to the shower room. Warning with minor cuts because they do sting if it’s exposed to the salt water. I think it was an interesting place and i was so relaxed I couldn’t do much for the rest of the day. Not quite sure if this is something I’d want to do regularly as I’d prefer a massage but I’d be open to giving it another try.

What a strange and relaxing experience.
I came here based on a friends recommendation and really wasn’t sure what to expect.
Basically, it’s a salt bath where you float. But not like the ocean. it’s far more salty then the ocean and you literally float. At first it felt strange, you think you have to tread to stay up, but you don’t. Eventually you realise this and float and relax.
So your put in a private room with a shower and towel. You get your kit off and go into a dark bath room inside the shower area and float for an hour. Once you give into it, it’s very relaxing.
And relaxing it is!
I think at some point I had a snooze. Not sure. Your in there for an hour, but never really sure what time it is which is kinda cool.
When you come out, they showers have shampoo and conditioner. So you don’t have to bring anything. They even provide hair dryers for those that need it.
When your finished they offer yummy teas and a sitting lounge. They have a nice garden area, but it was too cold for me to sit outside.
The area is also nice. Lots of unique shops.
I’ll come back!

Please dont expect too much. I know the other reviews look great but I found this a big disappointment.
It is hard too express how poor my experience here was without offending anyone but I would never recommend this to anybody.
I know one review says they are i the middle of a refurb but i went several weeks after that review and it still looks a mess.
Not at all relaxing

After my first floating experience, I will definitely be back. At first I was hesitant about the location, but it’s in a super cute neighborhood, even less than the 10 minute walk from the tube (walking time listed on their website). The staff thought of everything to make it a comfortable, relaxing experience.

Amazing place. Very friendly staff who put you at ease if you’ve never had a floatation. After a shower in your private room you enter the actual floatation room which plays soothing music for 15 minutes. Switch the light off and relax. It took me about 10 minutes to fully relax then wow. Not only does your body float your mind does. This is the most amazing relaxing treatment I have ever had.
When your hour is up music comes back on and you shower and dress. Hairdryer is provided along with towels etc.
All in all excellent and highly recommended

This is a lovely place with friendly, helpful and interested staff. Facilities are clean and well looked after and everything feels homely and a pleasantly homespun. They are in the middle of some refurbishments so it’s a little bit of a mess with unfinished surfaces around but once that’s done, it will be fantastic. I highly recommend the floating experience to the uninitiated (like me, until today); it’s deeply relaxing and great for winding down after a stressful week.

Amazing place! If you’ve never been for a float you have to try one here, where you get your own floatation tank rather than a small pod.
You leave feeling wonderfully relaxed and clearminded, which in my book makes it worth every penny!
After your float you can sip on a herbal tea (complimentary) in the chair swings in the garden, until you feel ready to brace the high road again!
