Who we are

At LUSH cosmetics, we believe in making effective products from fresh, organic fruit and vegetables, the finest essential oils and safe synthetics. We aim to leave the world Lusher than we found it; and at the LUSH SPA, we’re passionate about improving your sense of well-being, so you can feel your best self.

Our warm inviting spas are an oasis of calm, allowing time and space away from a busy world to relax and rejuvenate. Each Lush Spa treatment is an immersive experience, inviting you to enjoy the unexpected. Using a multi-sensory holistic approach, including soothing touch, visual displays, beautiful fragrances, and bespoke, crafted music made by Lush Fresh Handmade Sound, each treatment has a transformative effect, bringing you back into a state of peace and balance.

Our store is right in the heart of London, tucked between Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road tube stations.

We know that one of the best things about being in central London is finding a small little bubble of bliss tucked off a busy street corner.

The level of training provided to our Spa Therapists along with the uniqueness of the treatments and the comfort of the environment create truly beautiful experiences to all our clients!
