Everyone deserves to indulge in a spot of pampering on occasion, so kick back and enjoy some downtime with a tranquil pamper day at The Abbey Spa, based in the Abbey Leisure Centre in Barking. Start the day with a refreshing fruit platter and welcome drink, before relaxing with an invigorating 25 minute massage and a rejuvenating 25 minute facial each. Take a dip in the hydrotherapy pool for an energising boost among the pressure jets, or luxuriate in the relaxation lounge and allow all of life’s stresses to drift away. Other facilities include a rock sauna, an aromatherapy steam room, a crystal steam room, a salt inhalation steam room, an ice chute and a heated bench. There’s even a fully-equipped gym for those looking to work up a sweat
