Hilton London Bankside ****

💎 2h of spa, a 30-minute treatment and lunch or early dinner in a 4-star. A few streets from the Thames, the spa stretches around a 17-meter heated pool and hydrapool, alongside a 30-minute treatment, massage or facial depending on the mood. Afterwards, lunch or early dinner lands somewhere between neighbourhood restaurant and hotel dining room, with the same warehouse-inspired atmosphere that defines much of Southwark now.
