Nice Moove: Virgin Atlantic To Add Cowshed Spa To Gatwick Airport
The cows have come home: Virgin Atlantic's clubhouse at London's Gatwick Airport will be closed until the end of November for renovation, including adding a brand new Cowshed Spa for its passengers.
"Cowshed Spa" sounds like an oxymoron, like that other British invention Shabby Chic, but the premium spa brand was named for the original purpose of the building that houses its first location, at the Babington Hotel in Somerset county. (There are no cows there now.) Its six locations in England include one in the London Heathrow clubhouse, where passengers can get treatments like hot stone facials and full-body salt scrubs. Cowshed is also the official spa of the SoHo House in , or so we hear because we can't get in.
Travelers feeling deprived of the ability to pay £35 ($56.92) for daily access to the Gatwick clubhouse will have to content themselves with the Virgin Holidays' VRoom or The Lounge in the South Terminal. There's no shower at either, so you'll just have to go through your Virgin experience dirty, and there is a life lesson to that.
