Escape the chaos of the Games at the Barking Bathhouse — a temporary spa/healthy cocktail bar open until September 16th in Dagenham. The design-led project — part of the Create festival — features treatment rooms, a makeshift beach made from a pile of pebbles, a sustainable wooden sauna and a cool room chilled with dry ice. Health and beauty treatments (massages, facials, manicures) use products grown by a local allotment as well as homegrown cucumbers sprouting from a canopy above the bar.

And if that isn't enough, they're available in traffic-stopping colors with mix-and-match options for saddle and handlebars.
