I wrote a review of this place about 6 months ago and since then I've returned about 6-8 times. The woman I saw first time was called Stella - I've not seen her again - so this is a composite review of my other visits, during which I've probably seen about 5 different women. I offer a single review of all visits because each has been pretty much the same service and of pretty even quality and I've not caught/remembered all of the names anyway.
Firstly, the shop is on a busy road and you need to just dive in between the shoppers and passing cars - a hat and mask helps. The welcome is always friendly and I've always found there to be two girls working at any one time, plus the Chinese medicine lady at the front. All the masseuses are Chinese in my experience, all probably aged between 30-40 and all slim and I think attractive and for one hour I pay £45. Their English is a bit limited, but adequate to do what needs to be done. I've always found the quality of the massage to be good and hard enough to be feel it's making a difference. Extras on offer seem to be either hand relief or naked hand relief for either £20 or £40 and it's always pleasantly administered. I tend to go for the latter and have enjoyed the experience. On the downside, there are no showers - or none that I've seen - and both you and the woman need to clean up with what's to hand. Not too bad for me - I can go home for a shower, but the women work long shifts and get pretty hot and sweaty administering a hard massage. My preference is to go nearer the start of the day than the end.
There is a back exit which I've used sometimes, which brings you into an unmade road behind the shops from which you can find your way back to the road.
My tastes are simple - a good massage with extras - and I've always left satisfied. Some of you gents who look for more exotic offerings will find this place a little tame.
Worth saying, some of the women seem to work 2-3 days a week and some only 1. I'm not sure if any work regular days. Most seem to work in other places too. I also get the impression this shop is part of a chain of several and so they may pop up in other branches elsewhere in London.
It's a clean, tidy and friendly place and for me always delivers.
