20 March marked the spring equinox: the official beginning of lighter, warmer days, flower-filled gardens and (hopefully) the banishment of our puffer jackets.

But nature isn’t the only thing emerging from the dormancy of winter, it’s also the perfect time for us to practise our own rituals of renewal and rejuvenation, too.

Whether that involves getting reacquainted with your fitness routine or booking yourself in for a pamper, Regent Street and St James’s are the West End destinations that are going to help you get your wellbeing back on track.

Here’s our edit of the must-visit spots to help you nurture your body, mind and spirit this spring…

As the sun stops shyly hiding behind grey clouds and rising temperatures mark an end to our hibernation, springtime offers the perfect opportunity to reintroduce some movement to our lives.

And if your running route has started to feel repetitive and those home workouts have stopped, well, working, Regent Street and St James’s offer the perfect solution.

From super high-energy cycle and HYROX classes to strength-focused barre, yoga and reformer, Psycle is dedicated to helping you find the movement that feels good for you. Searching for an all-encompassing experience where you can work, gym, eat and unwind? Look no further than Third Space Soho, the West End’s very own luxury health club and fitness sanctuary.

Contrary to popular belief, Gymshark’s flagship store on Regent Street isn’t just an epic spot to get kitted out in fancy activewear. It’s also home to regular group fitness classes that are free to attend, run clubs and PT sessions, so pop in for a new way to elevate your exercise regime.

And while we’re looking after our physical health we can’t forget good body care. Aesop’s soothingly scented remedies have been taking care of bodies since 1987 and now you can even book yourself in for a nourishing and restorative facial.

Dr. Harris is also a must-visit spot if you’re in the market for new skincare. This apothecary has graced St James’s since 1790, so you’re safe in the knowledge that you’re in very experienced hands.

Whilst ‘tidy kitchen, tidy mind’ is a good rule of thumb, our wits often need a little more than a satisfying deep clean to feel refreshed.

And quality sleep is the perfect antidote to the sluggishness the dark mornings and grey days may have left behind. 

Vispring provides a sleeping experience that rivals the naps you used to take at nursery and is the perfect place to start if you’re looking to upgrade your sleep space. 

Imagine drifting off on a super-soft cloud that supports every roll and wiggle and try not to fall asleep just thinking about it. That’s the quality you can expect from the mattresses at this sleep haven.

Once you’ve sorted your sleep scape, pop into Europe’s largest bookshop for some good old-fashioned entertainment.

Between the mezzanine café, fifth floor bar and restaurant and diverse yet relaxed events programme, Waterstone’s Piccadilly offers visitors a cosy and quiet experience - the perfect way to escape reality and calm a busy mind. Bag a good book, immerse yourself in a talk with your favourite author or complete some life admin to avoid the addictive doom scroll. 

Although the concept may sound elusive, there’s actually a lot you can do to soothe your spirit. 

Think of it as an energy that needs replenishing from time to time to keep yourself in tip-top shape.

Self-love is crucial when it comes to nurturing your spirit and what better way is there to show yourself some TLC than with an uplifting bunch of flowers? Perched behind St James’s Church on Jermyn Street, and bursting with everything from trusty tulips to exotic and unusual arrangements, Bulbous has a gorgeous selection of blooms to brighten up your day. 

Spoilt for choice? Hyacinths and peonies are staple spring flowers that are guaranteed to bring joy to whatever space you choose to display them in.

Indulging your senses is another great way to brighten your spirits, too. Express your individuality and create your own bespoke fragrance at Floris, which you’ll also find on Jermyn Street, or delve into the mood-boosting world of Regent Street’s Molton Brown and select something like their Graceful Apricot & Freesia Bath & Shower Gel to welcome the scent of spring into your home.

The hustle and bustle of the West End is probably the last place you’d expect to find serenity, but step into the Sofitel Spa St James’s and you’re transported to a tranquil oasis. From a Turkish hammam and jacuzzi to a tension-melting massage, you can choose a treatment that’s tailor-made just for you. 

Whether you’re passing by or making a day of it, Regent Street and St James’s are lined with offerings just waiting to help you feel refreshed in time for spring. What will be your first stop?

Step into spring on Regent Street and St James’s and rediscover your perfect remedy for regrowth and rejuvenation.
