Where To Go For Sound Baths In London In 2026

Sound has long been used to promote relaxation. Tibetan singing bowls, for instance, have been incorporated into meditation practices in the Himalayan regions for thousands of years, while the ancient Egyptians used chanting to promote healing. But it wasn’t until more recently that the term ‘sound bath’ began making its way into mainstream culture. Despite the name, there’s no water involved: this wellness practice is essentially a type of meditation which uses gongs, crystal bowls and other therapeutic instruments to ‘bathe’ you in sound vibrations. Studies show sound therapy offers a multitude of benefits for both physical and mental health, from stress reduction to enhanced mental clarity and trauma release. But where to try it? Here are the best sound baths in London for 2026.

Best Sound Baths In London

Sacred Tones

This urban sanctuary in the heart of Parsons Green began as a small circle of friends who would gather for gentle rituals and ceremonies. Over time, the space grew into a studio which now offers an array of sound therapy classes and workshops. The Deep Healing Sound Bath uses crystal singing bowls and gongs to bring you into a state of blissful zen, while the Ground Sound Journey is designed to help slow the nervous system and help you feel more present. New mum? Try the Sound & Stillness for Mums and Bubs class, a nurturing session where you can bring your baby and allow sound to help you both recharge, relax and bond.

Re:Mind Studio

A pioneer in London’s sound bath movement, Re:Mind opened in 2018 – the brainchild of meditation teacher Yulia Kovaleva, who set out to create a space for tired city dwellers to de-stress. The studio is located in Eccleston Yards in Victoria, meaning it’s perfectly positioned for Londoners looking to slot in some calm on the way to or from work. The signature sound bath, Re:Sound, is described as a ‘transcendent experience’ which incorporates gongs, crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, handpans and occasionally the human voice to create ‘an orchestra of healing frequencies’. Worried about falling asleep and snoring? No need: the teachers (known here as ‘calmers’) will gently nudge you back awake. There are also sessions dedicated solely to crystal bowls, the studio’s most spiritual offering which often leaves participants feeling a little spaced out (in a good way) and with a deeper sense of peace and clarity.

Soul Studio

Primrose Hill’s wellness types flock to Soul Studio to find their zen, a mindful space dedicated to movement and healing. Alongside the signature yoga classes, the studio offers a variety of different types of sound bath: the Transformative session is designed to encourage emotional release through gongs and chimes, while the Crystal Alchemy bath uses the healing frequencies of crystal bowls to promote recalibration in body, mind and spirit.

Kew Gardens

London’s world-leading botanical garden recently introduced sound baths, which take place amid the Nash Conservatory – a 19th century greenhouse overlooking the bountiful grounds. They’re led by Jez Smith, a sound therapist and hearing-impaired musician who has developed multi-sensory ways of listening through gongs, singing bowls and gentle percussion to induce a deep meditative state. Mats are provided, but it’s recommended that you bring a little pillow and an eye mask for maximum cosiness. The sound baths run on select dates until October 2026 and tickets include entry to Kew Gardens, so be sure to have a walk around before or afterwards.

True North Studio

Soho might scream zen, but hidden away in a top floor loft on Carnaby Street sits a cocoon of tranquility. True North Studio is a small holistic space run by Canadian-born yoga teacher and sound practitioner Nancy Trueman, who specialises in restorative practices that are all about slowing down and finding inner stillness. Sound baths here are intimate, with just six mats per class, making the sound even more powerful. Keep an eye on the website for events – coming up soon there’s a full moon sound bath (27 February 2026) – or book out the space for a private session with a couple of friends or your other half.

art’otel

Take a hump day pause at Battersea’s art’otel, which has launched a series of Wednesday evening sound baths. Guided by local instructor Jinis, who has a background in shamanic healing, each class uses a combination of conscious breathing and sound vibrations to help you find a state of calm. Afterwards, refuel with a hot drink and a snack at TOZI Counter. 

Wednesdays until 25 February 2026, 1 Electric Blvd, Nine Elms, London SW11 8BJ, batterseapowerstation.co.uk

Mandarin Oriental Mayfair

Leading the trend for floating sound therapy is Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, the five-star hotel known for its wellness offering. Run by Laura Dodd, founder of online studio The Yoga Class, sound baths here take place on inflatable lilos atop the 25m pool – a dreamlike space lit up with twinkling lights. Breathwork is combined with crystal bowls, gongs and therapeutic instruments to create a deeply peaceful session as you float weightlessly. ‘Water removes gravitational load from the body, and sound travels through it more efficiently than air, so the experience isn’t just heard, it’s felt,’ says Dodd. ‘That’s what allows people to move into deep rest so quickly. Sound has a unique way of bypassing the thinking mind. In water, those vibrations are felt throughout the body, which allows tension and emotion to release.’

Upcoming dates include 28 February, 28 March, 26 April and 30 May 2026, 22 Hanover Square, London W1S 1JP, mandarinoriental.com

Tempo 301

You might know Tempo 301 for its challenging reformer pilates, but the studio also offers sound baths in its Elephant & Castle branch. Classes use a blend of crystal singing bowls, gongs and chimes to create a meditative soundscape which washes over you. No movement is needed, simply lie back and allow the therapeutic sound to wash over you – you’ll leave feeling grounded and refreshed.
