Marylebone Health & Beauty

Glow Bar is a welcome one-stop wellness shop in one of the more chaotic parts of town. The philosophy centers around stress management in the form of sipping, sweating, and shopping. The café section is a calming pink and green corner with an adaptogen-heavy menu of moon milks, smoothies, and pitaya bowls to help soothe the nervous system. The infrared sauna is meant to assist with sleep and collagen production, while the shop is stocked with clean beauty, herbs, and other wellness essentials.

Open for over a decade, this Marylebone shop is part clean, nontoxic beauty store and part amazing day spa. Upstairs, colorful shelves are stocked with Four Sigmatic, Intelligent Nutrients, Oskia, Juice Beauty, and Vintner’s Daughter. You can book a full or express facial using the store’s most popular brands—Pai Skincare and Tata Harper—and withdraw to the super quiet treatment rooms downstairs.

Consultant gynecologist Dr. Sarah Creighton specializes in abnormal smears and pediatric gynecology. Of course, if you're in need of a routine consultation, she's also available for these at The Portland Hospital.

The runners and hard-core exercisers of London know Dr. Fares Haddad as the very best knee surgeon in town. An orthopedic surgeon, he specializes in sports, trauma, and lower limb reconstruction.

Dr. Massoud is an experienced, reliable, and skilled pediatrician. He's wonderful with children and also puts parents at ease. The Portland Hospital location is a private practice, but Dr. Massoud also practices through the NHS at Northwick Park and St Mark’s Hospitals.

Gynecologist Alfred Cutner offers specialist consultations, investigations, and treatments to women with benign gynecological conditions at The Portland Hospital. He also runs an NHS practice at the teaching hospital at University College Hospital London. His main interest is laparoscopic surgery and its application in urogynaecology, endometriosis, fibroids, and pediatric and adolescent gynecology. Sounds complicated but, to sum it up, he's an excellent, well-rounded doctor.

Dr. Joshi trained in India as a medical doctor but turned to Osteopathy and then complementary medicine as he was frustrated with the limitations of conventional medicine. Well versed in everything from Ayurveda, to acupuncture, to colon hydrotherapy, hypnotherapy, and more, a visit will invariably include a mix of these, plus a detox—the idea is to rid the body of the harmful toxins at the root of illness, rather than treat symptoms. 

While Dr. Vara can treat just about any musculoskeletal injury, it's his abilities when it comes to pain management—everything from treating back pain to recurring headaches—that make him so popular. He's also great with (and qualified to treat) children. With two clinics in Sussex, he's a busy guy, but he does make it to his London clinic every Monday.

Dr. Mouton practices functional medicine, and accordingly, he believes that nutrition and a healthy digestive system are the key to general wellbeing.  Holistic in every sense of the word, an appointment at his office at the Hale Clinic translates into a series of tests and questionnaires around your eating habits and general health. Focusing on thyroid function and metabolism, he uses your information to create a roadmap to your optimum state, which will likely involve dietary changes.

Ed, or Physio Ed is well known for providing rehabilitation for professional athletes, singers, and dancers at his Harley Street studio. In fact, he services, a majority of London's West End shows and music acts.  Even if you're not one of the above, he, or any of the therapists at his clinic, are guaranteed to help you overcome any bodily ailment through manual therapy and a series of exercises tailored to your needs.  The studio also includes a sizable gym where they can prescribe personalized exercise routines for muscular rehab.There's a new second location in Belsize Park.
