Does the type of massage affect the price?

At most salons and apps, yes - deep tissue or Thai massage is often priced higher than Swedish. At TheMassageRooms, all treatments are the same price. You’re booking a qualified therapist’s time, and we don’t think the style of treatment they use should change what you pay.

Are there extra charges for a mobile massage in London?

It varies by provider. Some charge a travel or parking fee on top of the treatment price. TheMassageRooms includes travel to all central London locations (Zones 1-3) in the standard rate. Oils and equipment are also included, so what you see is what you pay.

What’s the most affordable way to enjoy a massage?

Self-massage at home using oils or a foam roller is the cheapest option. You’ll only pay for supplies. For a professional treatment, a discount code on a mobile booking often works out cheaper than a salon, without the travel or the waiting room.

How much does a 90-minute full body massage cost in London?

Typically £90-£120. At The Massage Rooms, it’s just £70 with a discount code , delivered to your door.

Mobile Massage Prices in London (2026 Update)

Quick Answer: TheMassageRooms offers professional in-home or in-hotel massages in London from just £59 per hour - a market-beating rate for highly experienced, empathetic therapists.

Same-day home visits since 2009, over 200,000 customers served. Therapists can be with you across the capital in as little as one hour.

Popular mobile treatments include:

Deep Tissue Massage - from £59/hr
Couples Massage - from £100/hr (2 people)
Therapeutic Full Body - from £59/hr

Why do we charge the same price for all treatments? Unlike many salons and apps that charge more for certain types of massage (like deep tissue or Thai), we keep our pricing simple and fair. That’s because you’re booking a block of time with a fully qualified therapist - and their time, skill and care are equally valuable whether you're choosing a relaxing Swedish massage or a more intense remedial treatment. One price, full flexibility.

Use an online discount code to get the price even lower - sometimes under £50/hr per person for a couples treatment.

Luxury Hotel Spa Massage Costs in London

Quick Answer: Expect to pay £110-£150+ per hour for a massage at a luxury hotel spa in central London.

These high-end experiences often include perks like steam rooms or refreshments, but don’t always reflect better therapeutic quality. You’re often paying for branding, location, and overheads - not necessarily the therapist’s skill.

With some planning, you can recreate a similar experience at home for a fraction of the cost by preparing your room and booking an experienced mobile therapist.
