Lady’s Review of a Massage in Oxford Circus

Today I want to tell you about my experience getting a massage in Oxford Circus. Read on for my London massage review, complete with photos of the spa.

Massage in Oxford Circus

I was invited to try out a complimentary spa treatment in central London recently. The treatment came in the form of a massage in Oxford Circus.

It was at a place called Metta, a spa that was conveniently located right in the heart of the city center.

I booked the massage for the end of a busy period of work so I could start my post-stress relaxation as effectively as I could.

London Massage Review

Arriving at 10am on a Saturday morning, I found myself in a two-story space that housed a number of businesses that offered everything from spray tanning to spa treatments. It was a bit of an odd setup, but I kept an open mind.

Metta spa was located on the lower ground floor in a small space in the back. There was a reception area where I was given a warm welcome and a choice of water or tea while I sat in a comfortable chair to fill out a health questionnaire.

That finished, I was shown into one of the treatment rooms—a long, narrow space with low light, candles, and soft music for ambiance.

Despite it being a bit noisy outside the building, the room was quiet and a feeling of peace prevailed.

After washing my feet, my therapist got to work massaging the tension that had gathered in my back, neck, and shoulders over the preceding two weeks.

For the next 40 minutes, I was in a zen state. The masseuse used a combination of massage techniques—from hot cloths to stretching and kneading—to ease the knots in my shoulders and give me an overall feeling of relaxation and calm.

By the end of the massage, I could feel the stress of crowded tube stations, frantic event schedules, and heavy handbags dissipating. The only thing I could have asked for was more time. I should have paid for an extra 40 minutes!

After my treatment I went back into the reception area. I was offered another glass of water or tea before I slowly eased my way back into the busy world of London.

It was nice to have a break from two hectic weeks of work, and I needed it all the more given that there’s more right around the corner. I might just have to go back for another massage in Oxford Circus in a few weeks’ time.

I hope you’ve found this London massage review helpful and that you enjoy a massage of your own at Metta spa or another great spa in the UK capital someday soon.
