The unmistakable facade of Harrods in London’s Knightsbridge

Harrods Wellness Clinic LONDON, UK The newWellness Clinic at Harrods takes up a vast 10,500 sq ft of the department store’s fourth floor, but with its discreet entrance, you’d barely know it was there. Once inside, you immediately feel the serenity of the space designed by the award-winning architects StantonWilliams. By using natural materials such as cherry timber, Moleanos stone and soft fabrics, the architects have created a minimalist contemporary look that still emanates warmth, flowing seamlessly from the tranquil waiting room to each of the ambiently lit treatment rooms and personal training studios. Cleverly positioned around circular pods for a more intimate feel, each room and studio features state-of-the-art technology paired with the unrivaled expertise of the clinic’s in-house wellness specialists, who span the gamut of self-improvement from nutrition and fitness to aesthetic treatments and skin care.

WELLNESS EXPERTS Benefit from the know-how of PHI Clinic of 102 Harley Street, body transformation expert Louise Parker (known for her six-week program The Method), renowned chiropractor and posture specialist Dr Ben Carraway, acupuncturist Ross Barr and global leader in vitamin infusions The Elixir Clinic. Gen Identity DNA testing and targeted skin care also has a home here, as well as the New York Dermatology Group. Through consultation, each of these specialists creates targeted treatment plans, combining their knowledge with revolutionary products and technology. TREATMENTS With treatments falling under the categories of aesthetics, wellbeing and the Elixir Clinic, III Cryo, acupuncture and chiropractic, the range of therapies and programs here is as transformative as it is comprehensive. Of the wellbeing programs by Louise Parker, it’s the six-week LPM Transform option that’s most rigorous, comprising weekly coaching in all four pillars of her famously effective method for weight-loss and improved sense of wellbeing. Chiropractic, acupuncture and cryotherapy are all available to book as single or multiple sessions, including the signature five-element acupuncture and facial rejuvenation with Ross Barr. Taking every need into account, the aesthetics treatments range from Coolsculpting by Dr Tapan Patel and a Plexr non-surgical blepharoplasty (correcting defects, deformities and disfiguration of the eyelids) by Dr Maryam Zamani, to an Egyptian resurfacing treatment by Dr David Jack and hybrid 3D energy lift by the New York Dermatology Group. And taking a holistic approach, The Elixir Clinic offers a series of vitamin infusions, such as the signature Harrods VIP Exclusive VitaDrip, to encourage beauty from the inside out.
