Grace Belgravia is an ultra stylish health and lifestyle club exclusively for women. The equally stylish Grace Apothecary Bar & Café within Grace Belgravia is open from breakfast until dinner. It offers healthy meals and snacks carefully designed by nutritionists and chefs, with additional input from yoga guru and SuperFood author, Julie Montagu. Along with an extensive smoothie menu, you’ll find chia porridge, smashed avocado on toast and nutritious seasonal salads. The cafe also hosts a range of debate, art, music and cultural events.

The Retreat Café at Triyoga Soho

Although not technically a gym, the four Triyoga centres across London offer yoga, pilates, Gyrotonic sessions and barre classes. One of the most central branches is Triyoga Soho, in the foodie hotspot of Kingly Court. Attached to Triyoga Soho is The Retreat Café which, although petite, is perfectly formed. The menu has been developed by qualified naturopath and chef Kimberly Parsons, and is entirely gluten free and refined-sugar free. Often filled with yoga students relaxing after a class, there’s a great selection of smoothies, gluten free wraps and better-for-you sweet treats.
