I absolutely enjoy my time in Floatworks! The facility, towels and slippers are clean, the staff are helpful and the ambience is relaxing. The hour in the floatation tank is bliss and you can feel your stress and strains disappear! Definitely recommended!

My visit to Floatworks was very timely - I was moving house and feeling very stressed. The venue was tucked away behind London Bridge and I felt instantly calmer just walking in. The staff were helpful and professional, and showed us how it all worked then left us to it. You get an individual room with your pod and a shower in, and you can have the lid open or not, and the lights on or off.

The floating was an interesting experience. Time didn't seem to matter in there, and although I didn't sleep (some people drop off apparently), I wasn't bored or restless and I felt much more relaxed afterwards. I got a free towel for 'liking' on Facebook and shower gel/shampoo/conditioner were all provided. The hairdryers could have been more powerful.

I would definitely go again, if I can get another deal.

I bought the floatation experience as a gift for my mum. The voucher was a great deal and she loved the whole exprience and found it very relaxing. She would definitely go again. The only down side was that the venue wasn't that easy to find and the staff found it very difficult to give directions over the phone so make sure you allow plenty of time to arrive.

Such a lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. We were shown through to our rooms (they were nice enough to give rooms near each other) and told what everything was. I am usually a little worried about being closed into a pod, but it was so relaxing you quickly forget about that.

I was unfortunate to come out just after 5 women had finished so there was no way I was getting to use the 2 hairdryers which wasn't an issue.

Such a great deal but I would probably not pay £45 for this... maybe as a gift.

I highly recommend trying this, I will go back if they have another Wahanda deal (hint, hint ;))

Floatworks - wow! what an amazing experience..... it's actually so good it's mind blowing - I was so relaxed that I could hardly speak after my first session.

Slept like a log for 2 nights after my session - which is amazing considering I've been an insomnic for years.

The staff were attentive and took time to explain things to me

Great value with a Wahanda mob deal - I've rebooked as I've been informed it gets better each time, just hope there's another mob deal soon!

Another visit to Floatworks, and another relaxing float. Sadly the increased numbers mean that the personal service is long gone. Staff seem overrun when the place is fully booked. Float itself is as great as ever.

Maybe because it's cold outside or maybe because I like my baths to be the temperature of lava I wasn't really feeling this. I don't like sitting in tepid water, it feels like you've just been in the bath too long. I hear the first time is strange and you need to do a few to get used to it, but I have to say I'm not a fan. I love treatments of any kind, but this just wasn't my bag. I found it really hard to relax. Also the venue is pretty difficult to find and shabby looking. I can say I've done it, but I won't got back.

I have been floating several times and enjoy the experience. The centre is well set up with slippers and towels available and toiletries and hairdryer to use. Turn up and drift away...easy.

We've heard good things about the experience, so were keen to check it out. The flotation center was not difficult to find, staff were suffiently friendly. The treatment started a bit late, due to previous clients, but it did not negate the experience. It was restful indeed and I neither had any problems with being inclosed in a capsule or with having to wear earplugs. So, overall positive experience, but both of us decieded we do prefer massage for relaxation.

Having been for a float once before (and spent too much time having fun bouncing off the walls of the tank), I thought I'd try again to see if I could get a better state of relaxation.

The Floatworks is very conveniently located for me. The reception was efficient and pleasant, though not very personal or particularly warm and welcoming. I enjoyed the float, which was in a float pod - previously my float was in a roomstyle tank, which I preferred slightly more, more space.

I wasn't told where to go afterwards, but found the rooms with lounge chairs and hairdryers - again very practical, not particularly relaxing.

I wasn't offered the discount on future floats mentioned in the voucher.

Overall, a very efficient operation, slightly souless, but would do it again.
