Feeling stiff from the demands of modern life?
Find Your TreatmentLong hours at a desk, frequent travel and the demands of everyday life can leave your back, neck and shoulders stiff or sore. But when choosing Thai massage in London, firmer pressure doesn't necessarily mean a better treatment. What matters is how the treatment is adapted to you.
At Asiatic, our experienced therapists understand how muscles, joints and soft tissues respond to pressure, stretching and assisted movement. They use this knowledge to tailor each session to your needs, helping to ease tension, support flexibility, reduce everyday discomfort and leave you feeling more balanced and relaxed.

What Our Clients Say
Thai Massage Focused
Where You Need It
Our approach to Thai massage in London starts with a simple question: where do you want us to focus? Tell us where you feel tight, stiff, or restricted. We will adjust the pressure, pace, and focus of your treatment to suit your comfort, mobility, and preferences.
Book Your Treatment
Focused with Precision
Your therapist can give more attention to the back, neck, shoulders, tired muscles or any other areas you would like us to focus on, while adapting the pressure to your comfort.
Honouring Thai Tradition
Traditional Thai massage uses rhythmic compression, supported movement and assisted stretching, providing an active, movement-led alternative to conventional oil massage.
How You May Feel
Everyone responds differently, but after a well-paced session, you may feel lighter, more relaxed and less restricted, with a greater sense of ease in everyday movement.
One Standard Across Two Studios
Asiatic Master-Led Somatic Bodywork™ is our founder-developed approach to
consistent, personalised care across Angel and Highbury.
Experience Refined Since 2009
Co-founder Ben Pianese began his hands-on bodywork career in 2001, developing an approach beyond conventional massage. His focus on skilled techniques, muscle recovery, mobility, and stress relief helped shape the philosophy behind Asiatic, the Premier Massage Boutique in London that he founded with Apple Jatikate in 2009. Today, that experience guides our Master-Led Somatic Bodywork™ with treatments adapted to how each person's body feels and moves.
Beyond Qualifications
At Asiatic, qualifications are only the starting point. We choose our expert massage therapists not only for their training and technical skills, but also for their natural touch, personality, empathy, and passion for helping others feel better. We value practitioners who are curious, eager to learn, and committed to developing their craft. This combination of skill, intuition, and continuous growth shapes the Asiatic Standard. It makes every treatment a personal experience.
Rooted in Islington
Asiatic has served Upper Street since 2009, earning long-term trust from local residents, professionals and families. Alongside our Islington community, we welcome clients travelling from across London, including London Bridge, Holborn, Covent Garden, Soho, Marylebone and Baker Street. They visit our Angel and Highbury massage boutiques for traditional Thai massage, skilled practitioners and personalised treatments guided by the Asiatic Standard.
Two studios. One Stantard
Whether you visit Asiatic Angel at 93 Upper Street or Asiatic Highbury at 262 Upper Street, you can expect the same commitment to skilled bodywork, thoughtful communication, and personalised treatments. Each studio has its own atmosphere. Both follow our founder-led approach, allowing you to choose the location that best suits your day while enjoying the Asiatic experience.
The First Massage Studio on Upper Street
Our story began at 93 Upper Street in 2009 when we opened the street's first dedicated massage studio, offering a distinctive Thai bodywork experience to this part of Islington. Seventeen years later, Asiatic continues that heritage with two Upper Street studios in Angel and Highbury. We welcome clients from across London.
Clients return for skilled bodywork, experienced therapists and the warm Thai hospitality that has always set Asiatic apart. Over the years, we've earned the trust of local residents, professionals and families and welcomed well-known actors and performers. Doctors and physiotherapists still refer clients to our studios. That lasting trust guides the standards we uphold today.
Two Founders. One
Client-First Philosophy.
Apple Jatikate brings Thai hospitality, commitment to service, and close attention to detail. Co-founder Ben Pianese has worked hands-on in respected London wellness settings since 2001. Together, they founded Asiatic on one simple promise: every client should feel heard, cared for, and confident in their treatment.
That approach guides everything we do at our Angel and Highbury studios. From open communication and skilled bodywork to warm hospitality and consistent care, we strive to deliver exceptional service built on experience, personal attention, and the trust our clients place in us every day.
