Why people float
Deep rest
With no gravity, noise or distractions, many people find their mind and body finally switch off.
Better sleep
Guests often tell us they sleep more deeply on the nights after a float.
Easy on the body
The Epsom salt water takes the weight off muscles and joints, which many people find eases aches and stiffness.
No pods. No lids. No claustrophobia.
Our float rooms have open pools under high ceilings, each with its own shower. You choose soft light or total darkness, and music or silence. It’s the easiest way to try floating if a tank has ever put you off.
Many people travel into London to float. Now you can do it on Bricket Road, with a sauna and massage under the same roof.
If you are unsure what an open float pool is like, our guide to open float pools and enclosed tanks explains the differences before you book.
Floating together
Couples Float
Share the experience with a partner or friend: two of you, one hour, together in the same pool.
What to expect
- 1BeforeEat lightly an hour or two before, skip the coffee, and try not to shave that day. Arrive ten minutes early and shower when you get here. We provide towels, earplugs and flip flops.
- 2DuringStep in and lie back. The lights dim and the music fades. Most people settle within ten to fifteen minutes, and some drift off. You’ll stay safely afloat if you do.
- 3AfterShower off the salt and take your time. Relax in the lounge before you head out. Many people feel the calm for a day or two, and a sauna or massage afterwards can extend it.
Is floating for me?
Nervous first-timer? Most of our guests were. The open pool and your control over light and sound make it easy to settle in.
Can’t swim? You don’t need to. The salt keeps you afloat.
Pregnant? Many expectant mums find floating eases pressure on joints and the lower back. Check with your midwife or GP first.
Health conditions: if you have epilepsy, a severe skin condition or open wounds, please speak to a healthcare professional before booking.

What floaters say
“An amazing experience! I did my first floatation tank and it was incredibly relaxing. I’m feeling revitalised and like I let go of a lot of stress. The room was calming and peaceful and the tank was eye opening. Everyone must try a floatation tank! The staff were insightful and very friendly. We will be back soon 🙂”

“First timer at this newly opened oasis! Amazing experience – I will be going back (even buying into the monthly membership!
I have experienced flotation centres / before. However not with great experiences. This place was phenomenal.
1. Staff greeting you were super friendly and welcoming
2. Facilities were nice and clean
3. I came away feeling renewed.
I experience back and shoulder pains (poor posture due to working from home as well as carrying my office to work – when I do head to the office), and more recently have had ankle issues due to outdoor running. As such I wanted to see if this would help. IT DID! I not only felt super relaxed – quite literally the weight of the world had been lifted, but also had a snooze. More importantly, I woke up this morning with no more locked shoulders, and not needing to hobble out of bed. The epsom salt left my skin feeling smooth and nourished.
Thank you team!”
