93 Upper Street: A Tradition of Craftsmanship Since 1972.

Craft has always been part of 93 Upper Street. Before Asiatic, Mr Ismael’s tailor shop filled this space, where precision, patience, and skilled hands set the pace each day from 1972 to 2008.

We started our journey here in 2009. The space first became Kobkun, and later, in 2020, it became Asiatic. While the focus shifted from tailoring fabric to caring for the body, our philosophy remained the same: attention to detail, skilled hands, and respect for each person.

Today, Asiatic Angel carries on that legacy. Drawing on Ben Pianese’s bodywork experience since 2001, our original massage boutique at 93 Upper Street keeps the same independent spirit. We offer Thai massage, Somatic Bodywork™, and Master-Led treatments™, all tailored to your comfort, pressure preference, and how your body feels on the day.

The Heritage of 93 Upper Street

At Asiatic, we believe spaces hold memory. The story of 93 Upper Street reflects a legacy of independent craft, not just a shopfront.

1972 – 2008: The Master Tailor: For over three decades, this address housed Mr Ismael’s tailor shop. His work exemplified precision, patience, and a deep understanding of form, proportion, and skilled craftsmanship.

2009–2020: The Kobkun Chapter: In 2009, the space became part of our massage practice under the name Kobkun. The focus shifted from tailoring to body care, while the values of care, attention to detail, and craftsmanship persisted.

2020–Present: The Asiatic Chapter: In 2020, the studio became Asiatic. Although the name evolved, the continuity of care remained. The same management, together with many long-standing therapists, continued the work that began at this address in 2009. Today, our Angel location carries this tradition forward through Thai massage, Somatic Bodywork™, clinical-informed care, and a calm Massage Boutique & Wellness™ experience. The connection is clear: whether through tailoring or bodywork, 93 Upper Street has always valued skilled hands, patience, and individual attention.

The Asiatic Standard of Care

At Asiatic Angel, our Upper Street massage enclave in Islington, we offer a calm, professional, and attentive approach to bodywork. Each session is shaped around the person in the room, not a fixed routine.

Our therapists listen to your reason for visiting, discuss pressure preference, and adapt the treatment to your comfort level. Some clients prefer firmer work for general muscle tension, while others need a slower treatment to unwind, breathe and reconnect with their body.

Our work brings together Thai massage tradition, Somatic Bodywork™, deep tissue techniques, and a clinical-informed understanding of the body. For clients carrying tension from desk posture, training, commuting or city life, the aim is not to force the body, but to work with it through rhythm, pressure, stillness and care.

All Treatments

A Calm Upper Street Ritual

A visit to Asiatic Angel can become part of a slower, more relaxed routine in Upper Street. Some clients arrive early to walk through Camden Passage or Islington Green before their treatment. Others visit after work, after training, before dinner or as a quiet pause during a busy week.

Nearby cafés, restaurants and cultural spaces make this part of Islington ideal for clients who want to combine massage with a calmer moment in the neighbourhood.

Asiatic Angel is part of Upper Street’s rhythm: independent, local, crafted and quietly restorative.
