Head spas in Colchester.

Colchester, often described as Britain's oldest recorded town, currently has one head spa listed. Its position within commuting distance of London means plenty of residents may already be used to booking treatments in the capital, which could help explain why a larger local scene hasn't yet taken hold. The Colchester venue is run as its own local business, entirely separate from anything trading under a London postcode.

London's much bigger spread of venues is easily reached by train from Colchester if the local listing doesn't suit, though it stands as a genuine option in its own right.

Details of the Colchester venue are below, worth reading properly rather than treating the town's proximity to London as a reason to skip past what's actually available here. Ongar, also in Essex and similarly close to the capital, shares Colchester's single-venue pattern, which suggests this part of the county is following its own pace rather than London's.
