Bamboo Spa, SGR

Georgeh87

Had a massage at the thai place just next to Nandos a couple of months ago and it was great so decided to book in again.

They were fully booked so naively went along to the road to the 'Bamboo Spa'.

From the moment I went in I thought something was a bit dodgy but felt like perhaps I was being a bit prejudice... if that makes sense? Anyways, I wasn't, it's proper dodgy in there! Made a swift exit when it all became apparent.

Wondering if anyone else has been in or knows anything about it?

Yes there was a thread about this place a while back. Bit depressing.

Spill the beans, what exactly brought you to the conclusion that it's 'dodgy'?

Bamboo, S&M, spill the beans? Bty, not my scene, but intrigued.

About 40 minutes into the (terrible) massage, I started to get the feeling the masseuse was spending a lot of time in one region... this is very hard to type by the way! Even though I thought something wasn't right, again I felt like I might just be being prejudice. I don't get massages very often so am not totally aware of the etiquette. She then started massaging my head and whispered in my ear that for £40 I could have something extra (too much for this forum). That's when I got up, grabbed my cloths and left, still getting changed halfway down the road.

Sounds expensive. Is this legal? Trades descriptions act should apply.

From a pretty quick survey of Google results (including their own site, and another site which seems to review nothing but sexual services), it seems that this is what my dad's generation would have called "a knocking shop".

Thanks Scruffy. Please could you (or anyone else who has been) please confirm the opening hours and prices.

I haven’t been, Tesco, just a bit of (appropriately) quick and dirty web research. I believe the modern term for this style of bordello is a “rub-n’-tug”.

Ta. Lovely. A welcome addition to SG Road. I'll revert shortly with a comprehensive review.

In our house, we have tonight rechristened this stretch of the street ‘Pat Pong Road’.

Tut! Just one one house of ill repute and suddenly SGR is a red light district?

Tuck tuck. Krappy

The weekend shopping run just got a lot more interesting
