The Massage Company: Elevating Wellness in London

With a focus on regular wellness through high-quality massages, The Massage Company takes self-care to the next level. Offering membership options and a variety of treatment styles, this establishment is all about helping you make massage therapy part of your routine.

What’s the Experience Like?

At The Massage Company, you’ll find:

  • Convenient locations that make it easy to prioritise self-care.
  • A wide selection of treatments, including sports massage, pregnancy massage, and hot stone therapy.
  • Skilled therapists trained to deliver care tailored to your needs.

Quite disappointed. Usually the masseuse feels through the knots and tight areas and work on them, but our one glazed over the areas where she was more focused on moving onto the next section rather than to loosen tight areas and provide a good massage.

Venue and Vibes

Located just off London Bridge, this vibrant marketplace is a haven for food enthusiasts, offering an incredible variety of fresh produce, street food, artisanal products, and global flavours.

Borough Market is a collection of stalls, stands, and shops selling everything from organic fruit and veg to freshly baked bread, aromatic spices, and gourmet cheese. You’ll find culinary delights from every corner of the world, as well as top-notch coffee, wine, and craft beers.

Let’s talk food

The market is a feast for the senses. Expect sizzling street food, fragrant spices, and mouth-watering desserts. The variety is unparalleled, and the quality is top-notch, with many traders sourcing directly from farms or small-scale producers.

This outdoor market is a must visit whilst in London, for everyone and anyone! The best place for a range of different foods, tastes and experiences that will leave you coming back for more!

Nino & Josh

The quality here is exceptional. Whether you’re after a quick bite or ingredients for a home-cooked meal, Borough Market guarantees freshness and flavour. Every stall tells a story, making it an experience as much as a meal. The market offers something for everyone, which is what we love about it. If you are feeling something sweet or savoury, it doesn’t matter because they’ll always be something on offer that floats your boat!

The Events

Venue and Vibes

The atmosphere is electric, with a mix of locals doing their shopping and tourists soaking in the market’s charm. The historic setting, with its arches and cobbled paths, adds to the character. It’s lively, vibrant, and full of energy. It can get very busy especially on the weekends, and wait times at the food stalls can be long! Unfortunately it can also mean that finding a seat to sit down and enjoy can be difficult. This was something that meant that we would try to visit during non peak days and hours.

Borough Market is more than just a market—it’s a celebration of food and culture. It’s a place where you can explore new flavours, meet passionate food makers, and immerse yourself in London’s rich culinary scene. For those wanting good food and a fun atmosphere, this is the place to visit. For tourists, make sure to add this place to your list too! It is on the pricey side, but the for the quality, I would say it is very worth it!
