Planning a spa day in London with teenagers? Finding somewhere that welcomes under-18s can be surprisingly difficult, especially when so many spas have minimum age restrictions for treatments and facilities.
The good news is that there are some brilliant spa days and pamper experiences for teenagers in London, whether you're planning a special birthday treat, a mother-and-daughter day out or simply something a little different to do together.
From luxury hotel spas offering teenage facials and manicures to floating saunas and hot tub boat experiences in Canary Wharf, there's something for different ages and budgets.
Some experiences welcome children as young as four for selected treatments, while others are better suited to older teenagers aged 16 and above. It's worth checking the age restrictions carefully, as being allowed to book a treatment doesn't always mean teenagers can use the spa facilities.
I've rounded up seven of the best spa days and pamper experiences for teenagers in London, including prices, age restrictions and booking information, to help you find something suitable without spending hours searching.
