We have all heard the phrase 'when in Rome.." but what if you could get a taste of Rome right here in the UK?
The good people of TikTok have been raving about a hidden underground paradise filled with Roman inspired baths - and lets just say we're already mentally planning our trip.

One recent visitor shared a video showing the idyllic architecture and calming atmosphere in real time. Speaking via voiceover, @petit.blondine said: “You go underneath a historic building and find loads of different thermal pools including cold ‘Frigidariums’, a 40 degree ‘Caldarium’, a ‘bath of a thousand jets’, and a salt bath you can float in.”
This sounds like paradise!
She then went on to describe some of the activities you can do in the spa: “You can also drink red wine and everything smells like orange blossom.”
The AIRE Ancient Baths website has a list of all the incredible massages, wine bath and rituals available for customers to try.
From massaging ranging between 30 minutes to 180 minutes, couples retreats and a Himalayan salt ritual, there truly is something for everyone.

The 18th century building on 2-3 Robert Street also happens to be the former home of novelist and playwright J.M. Barrie, who authored the quintessential children’s tale Peter Pan.
One excited woman shared: “Been so curious about this, thanks for the inside look!”
A second person wrote: “This looks amazing!”
Another TikTok commenter said: “Omg! I wanna be there now.”
While some commenters compared the Roman baths to a particular Keanu Reeves film.

“That’s literally the pools from John Wick,” said one TikTok user.
Similarly, one other man said: “This looks like John Wick LOOOL”.
