General Questions
Find out what to bring, how our treatments work and what to expect on the day.
What is a hammam?
A hammam is a traditional Middle Eastern and North African bathing ritual dating back thousands of years. It typically involves a steam room session, a full-body cleanse with organic black soap, and an exfoliating body scrub using a kese mitt to remove dead skin. At Hammam Spa London, we combine authentic Turkish and Moroccan hammam techniques with a modern, luxurious setting in East Dulwich, SE22.
What is the difference between a Turkish hammam and a Moroccan hammam?
A Turkish hammam traditionally uses a heated marble slab (göbek taşı) and focuses on foam massage and exfoliation. A Moroccan hammam uses black beldi soap made from olives and eucalyptus, followed by a kese body scrub. At our spa we offer both traditions — you can choose the experience that suits you best when booking.
What are the benefits of a hammam?
Many guests enjoy the warmth, cleansing and exfoliation of a hammam as a relaxing way to unwind. Results and comfort vary from person to person. If you have a health concern about heat or a treatment, check with a healthcare professional before booking.
What products do you use?
Our treatments use products such as black soap and body masks. Please tell us about allergies or skin sensitivities before booking so the team can discuss the products used in your chosen treatment.
How do I book an appointment?
You can book by calling us on 0203 489 7474 or 07565 652045, or by emailing info.hammamspalondon@gmail.com. We recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred date and time, especially for weekends and group bookings.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes, we strongly advise booking in advance to guarantee your preferred time slot. Walk-ins are welcome subject to availability, but we cannot guarantee a space without a prior booking, particularly on weekends and for group or couples packages.
Should I arrive early?
Yes, we recommend arriving 10–15 minutes before your appointment. This gives you time to settle in, get changed, and start your experience feeling relaxed rather than rushed. Late arrivals may result in a shortened treatment time.
What is your cancellation policy?
We require at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice will result in the loss of any deposit or prepaid fee. If you need to reschedule, please contact us as soon as possible and we will do our best to help.
What should I wear to a hammam?
Bring swimwear you feel comfortable wearing for steam and water-based treatments. Please ask our team whether you need to bring a towel and sandals for your chosen booking.

Is a hammam suitable during pregnancy?
