Thai massage near Watford
Watford is south-west of St Albans. Drive about 20 minutes via the A405 and A414, or take the Abbey line from Watford Junction to St Albans Abbey and finish by bus or taxi. Open every day from 10am to 8pm.
Watford Junction is the main station, with West Coast main line services and the Abbey line. The Abbey line is the distinctive option from Watford: a local London Northwestern Railway train that runs to St Albans Abbey and takes about 16 minutes end to end.
St Albans Abbey is still a short bus, taxi or cycle ride from 67 Hatfield Road. The station sits on the western side of town, near the Cathedral. Do not get off there and walk around the Abbey expecting to see us. The salon is on Hatfield Road, east of the centre, toward Hatfield.
If you miss a connection, you still have buses and taxis from the city, but you may lose the start of your slot. Phone 07367 186767 if the train has already made you late. Watford High Street station and Watford Underground station serve other parts of Watford and would need a further change to be useful for this journey.
The drive is about 20 minutes via the A405 and A414, plus a little more if you hit city traffic after you arrive in St Albans. The salon is on the opposite side of the city from the Watford approach, so build in a few extra minutes to cross town.
The A405 (North Orbital Road) and the A414 are the roads already named on our site for this journey. They bring you from the Watford, Leavesden and M25 side toward St Albans. Junction 21A of the M25 connects to the A405 for St Albans and Watford; junction 6 of the M1 also connects to the A405 if that is the motorway you already use.
Once you are in the city, continue onto Hatfield Road rather than stopping around the Abbey or St Peter’s Street. The address is 67 Hatfield Road, AL1 4JE.
Once you reach 67 Hatfield Road, look first at the marked bays on Hatfield Road and the side streets beside the salon. St Albans City and District Council sets the restrictions: some stretches are limited to one hour, and other lengths of the road have permit-holder or pay-and-display rules. Read the sign on the bay you use. A one-hour bay is not a comfortable match for a 90- or 120-minute treatment.
The other parking option we already list is Morrisons supermarket at 244 Hatfield Road, St Albans AL1 4SU, further along the same road toward Fleetville. The store’s own page lists customer parking as free, with a maximum stay of three hours. Those rules belong to the supermarket and can change, so check the signs and any camera notices when you arrive. From there it is a short walk back along Hatfield Road to number 67.
After a 20-minute drive across to Hatfield Road, Morrisons is often easier than a one-hour street bay, especially for 90- or 120-minute bookings.
Watford’s high street, the Junction approaches and Cassiobury Park are how people place the town. They are starting points only. You leave them on the A405 toward St Albans, or at Watford Junction if you are using the train.
Do not navigate to St Albans Abbey and assume you have arrived. Continue to Hatfield Road.
Watford visitors often ask about couples bookings because two people can share the drive or the Abbey line trip. Couples 60 minutes is £135 and Couples 90 minutes is £205 for two people, booked after you pick a day that both therapists usually work. The picker only shows pairs who usually work on the day you select.
Solo bookings use the main menu: Traditional Thai, Deep Tissue, Thai Deep Mix, Swedish, Aromatherapy, Relax Thai Therapy, Thai Hot Oil, Sports massage, Head, Neck and Shoulder, and Lymphatic Drainage, from £70. Deep Tissue and Thai Hot Oil also offer 120 minutes at £135.
Sports massage is a regular question from people who train or commute; it is listed with the therapists who offer it. Hot Stone, Herbal Compress and Body Scrub are £135 for 90 minutes. 4 Hands remains a one-person treatment at £140, not a couples session.
Both people in a couples booking must be 18 or over. If no pair appears for the day you want, choose another day or call us rather than asking us to invent a pairing that is not on the rota.
The Abbey line runs from Watford Junction to St Albans Abbey and also calls at Watford North, Garston, Bricket Wood, How Wood and Park Street. From Watford you stay on until St Albans Abbey, then continue to Hatfield Road. The train does not stop at the salon.
Do not confuse Watford Junction with Watford Underground station on the Metropolitan line. The Abbey line starts at the main line station.
Drivers use the A405, also called the North Orbital Road, and then the A414. Junction 21A of the M25 and junction 6 of the M1 both connect to the A405 if that is how you already leave the Watford side. Once you are in St Albans, keep going to Hatfield Road rather than treating the Cathedral as the end of the trip.
An afternoon 90-minute booking can fit around the Abbey line if you leave time for the connection from Abbey station to number 67. A couple sharing the journey should both be 18 or over and should pick a day on the couples page before they look at trains.
Cassiobury Park and the high street stay in Watford. They help you describe where you started; they do not belong on the appointment confirmation. The confirmation should show 67 Hatfield Road, St Albans AL1 4JE.
We are open every day from 10am to 8pm, so a Sunday Abbey-line trip is a normal booking rather than an exception. Still leave time for the last connection from Abbey station.
When you come in, tell us about any injury and the pressure you like. Traditional Thai is done in loose clothing you wear yourself; we do not ask you to change into salon clothes. For oil massages you undress to your comfort level, you stay covered with towels, and underwear stays on, with only the area being worked on uncovered. We have showers and towels. Every treatment is given on a massage table in a private room.
All clients must be 18 or over. We do not offer massage during pregnancy. Please give at least 8 hours’ notice to cancel or change a booking. Cancelling or changing with 8 or more hours’ notice is free of charge. Less notice, or a no-show, is charged in full. Choose your therapist when you book online. You do not put a name in a notes box to request someone. We accept all major debit and credit cards, including Amex, plus cash. There is a discount when you pay in cash in person. If a time is not showing, it is not available; call 07367 186767 and we will help you find another slot rather than invent one.
Come in a few minutes early. If you drive, remember the salon is on the far side of St Albans from the Watford approach. If you use the Abbey line, get off at St Albans Abbey and continue to Hatfield Road.
We are open every day from 10am to 8pm. A 90-minute treatment can still fit in an afternoon without a car if you time the Abbey line and the last connection to Hatfield Road.
About 20 minutes via the A405 and A414, plus a little more if you hit city traffic after you arrive in St Albans.
