GLL has launched its sixth affordable spa, spa LONDON, at Merton Council’s Wimbledon Leisure Centre.

This £2m investment has breathed new life into the former slipper-baths area of the centre, which has been out of use since the 1970s.

The spa consists of an aroma steamroom, sauna, ice fountain, hammam benches with foot spa, hydrotherapy pool, monsoon shower, bucket shower and relaxation lounge.

More than 50 health, beauty and relaxation treatments are available in partnership with Elemis, La Sultane de Saba, Jessica and Fake Bake.

Regional manager for GLL, Simon Sen, says: “Our main aim was to utilise the unused space and create something which could give Merton residents a private spa experience at an affordable price to relax in and enjoy.”

This is the sixth spa LONDON to open its doors and follows the success of existing sites in York Hall, Rainbow, Ironmonger Row Baths, Marshall Street and Swiss Cottage.

GLL is a charitable social enterprise with a mandate to provide and manage community services at a price everyone can afford. It celebrates its 20th birthday in 2013 and manages over 120 leisure and fitness facilities.

GLL is the first leisure operator in the UK to be awarded both the Social Enterprise Mark and the Prime Minister’s Big Society Award.
