Everyone deserves some time to relax and take a break. These are 10 ways to treat yourself to a day of being pampered in London!

Everyone needs a break every now and then. Whether you’re a student stressed with exams and dissertations or working hard up in the city, it’s important to treat yourself. Luckily, being in one of the best cities in the world, there is so much that you can do to pamper yourself! Of course, there is the obvious; going out for dinner or getting your nails done, but sometimes you just want to do something a little more, something a bit extravagant! So, here are 10 ways to pamper yourself in London!

1. Spa Break

Whether it’s a luxury facial or full body massage you’re after, this one is for you! What a better way to pamper yourself than relaxing in one of London’s top spa’s! Apparently, the Bulgari Hotel is incredible, but I’m sure so are the prices. If you work on your feet all day, why not try some Foot Reflexology? Or, get a full body exfoliation and oil massage, to get that skin as smooth as a baby’s bottom!

2. Afternoon Tea at the Ritz

Do cute mini-sandwiches, delicious cakes, and a fancy hotel sound like your thing? Well if it is, look no further! Not only is this a very British thing to do, it is also a great afternoon out with fellow foodies and will make you feel very posh. You can also get dressed up, which is fun if you don’t get to do it too often! The Ritz is also right next to the famous Harrods, so you can always make a day of it and get a bit of retail therapy in before you go. Prices go from £65pp and booking is a must!

3. Helicopter Ride over London

Admittedly I have never actually done this, but it does sound pretty cool! Want to pamper yourself while getting an awesome snap for the ‘gram? Then I think this will be your winner. Fly over London’s capital and experience the view of over 18 landmarks in your own helicopter! I’m sure it will be an experience you never forget! Book now from £150pp.

4. Sky High Yoga at The Shard

Join in Europe’s highest yoga class and feel your zen from 1,016 feet up! With panoramic views of London’s capital, what a better way to extravagantly pamper yourself than by working on your mind and body? Not only will you get a good workout in, you will also be able to scope out views of the city like no other! Another awesome thing, if it’s a hot day, the class will be taken on the 72nd floor on an open-air deck (so try and go then). The group classes start at 8.15am and are £45pp, or if you are mega-extravagant, why not have a private lesson for two for (eek) £1,350!

5. Champagne Tasting and Canapes at PoloBar Mayfair

Get giggly on different premium bubbles at the Polo Bar in Mayfair. Sip away at your Laurent Perrier, Dom Perignon and Brut Rose whilst nibbling on 6 different canapés. Perfect for a girly day of gossip and alcohol! Prices go from £125pp.

If you grew up in East Sussex, here are some things you would know if you lived here.We’re known for our beachesMost of the beaches at East Sussex are easy and quick to get to but these usually consist of pebble beaches which are extremely uncomfortable to sit on. This is usually the main attraction to people on the summer which is usually packed with people on hot sunny days.And our piersWe are renown for having a few piers such as the one of Brighton. Of course, we used to have the one in Hastings…before it was burnt down. But of course, we have many more we can go to.Bonfires are a huge eventSussex is extremely renowned for its bonfires and parades. These usually comes with parades and firework shows which happen across East Sussex in October and November. Each town does it slightly differently, but all consist of great parades and fireworks.You always loved going to the arcadesThere are many amusement parks and arcades across East Sussex. Although we know how likely we are to win at these games, you can’t help but waste your money just to get one of the fluffy toys. Either that or we try to work together with our friends to get as many tickets as possible, then have to decide whether to cash in the tickets separately or combine them for a bigger price. Or wasting all your 2p machines where you spend your spare chance, and so much more, just to get one of the key chains.The Battle of Hastings was always the one piece of history you always rememberedThe most famous piece of history about us is the Battle of Hastings, which is bombarded into our history lessons when we get the chance. Not to mention an all-day field trip of the battle grounds themselves.You bragged about how it’s the home of ChoccywoccydoodahIf you ever watched this show, you would know that its home is right here in East Sussex. There is another shop in London but of course, its main home is right here. Chocolate cakes and everything chocolate sculpted into anything and everything.The majority of the population consisted of elderly individualsIn many of its small towns like Bexhill and Little Common it’s the place many people retire to. Full of scenic places and cafes, its great to retire but it means that you see more of them more than any other age group. So, when you move out of East Sussex, you find it weird when you see more younger people around.Brighton is the first thing outsiders will mentionIt’s a large city and when you mention to anyone outside of East Sussex that you’re from East Sussex, the first thing they’ll mention is Brighton. Of course, you can say which town you’re from but not a lot of people would really know where that is.You travelled to cities to hang outIf you lived in a village or town, you always went to a city to hang out with friends. In the south of east Sussex, everyone always wanted to go to Hastings or Eastbourne. They’re both bigger towns but with the large amount of music gigs, Hastings was always preferred by many.You were limited for choice for universitiesThere was either Brighton University or the University of Sussex but that was the only options unless you wanted to specialise in animal management or music. Regardless, if you did want to go in Sussex, Brighton is the main city with universities in them.Not a lot of celebrities come from or live hereAlthough there isn’t many celebrities that come here, we did have a few that lived here. For a while, Eddie Izzard lived in Bexhill. During this time, Bexhill college named their new theatre after him. That and, both Brighton and Eastbourne were the centre locations for Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging, but as for celebrities, it isn’t really the place you see them, unless they’re on holiday and visiting of course.Have anything else to add about East Sussex, comment below.

10. Murder Mystery Lunch at Belmond British Pullman

By far my favourite pick on the list- this extravagant London experience looks incredible! Hop aboard the famous sister train of the Orient-Express and enjoy champagne upon arrival, a five-course fine dining experience, wine, coffee and most importantly a MURDER MYSTERY EXPERIENCE. Take in the view whilst aboard the 1920s inspired train, indulge in delicious food, and get your brain ticking by trying to solve the mystery.
