Cat's 'Local Treasure' nomination goes to Siam Body and Soul on Charlton Road:

"After a day at my desk, this is exactly where I want to be. From the moment you walk in, everything slows down. You always leave feeling lighter, calmer and completely recharged.

It's become my go-to way to unwind, and I can't recommend it enough. Everyone needs a place that helps them properly switch off - and for me, that's Siam Body and Soul."

Thank you for keeping us relaxed, restored and ready for whatever the week brings!

Kelly's 'Local Treasure' nomination is The Voewood on Blackheath Standard:
"This is the shop that saves you every time. A last-minute gift, the perfect card, or just a little treat for yourself - whatever you need, The Voewood never disappoints.

It's one of those places you pop into 'just for a minute' and leave with something lovely every time. The Standard wouldn't be the same without it."
