One of our favourite and regular stop-offs in town has to be Saunabar in Covent Garden. Not only is it hugely convenient at only a couple of minutes walk from Soho, but it is also open just when we need it for either a lunchtime massage and steam or an after-work brush with a tall dark stranger! Their extensive facilities include a newly spruced cafe/lounge area with leather sofas and day beds and a giant tv/video screen showing 'action' movies designed to inspire, a large, gorgeous newly tiled and mirrored shower room, a gigantic Jacuzzi and the usual sauna, steam room and relaxing cabins. They have a fully licenced bar with free internet access so you can update your online profile to say where you are and what you're after, an onsite professional masseur to rub away your aches and pains and a whole range of eye candy (don't you mean staff? ’Äì Ed) that cover everything from young and cute to muscled, shaved and tattooed. Discreetly hidden away on Endell Street, Saunabar is one of the few entries in our little black book that has a red star by it, and if you take the advert from this weeks QX it's only ¬£10 entry and there are even free strawberries and cream over Wimbledon finals weekend so you can get 1 of your 5 a day while also getting a large portion!
