Your Guide to London’s Saunas
Chariots
Situated in four prime locations around the capital, Chariots is the undisputed emperor of London’s sauna empire! More steam, towels and muscles than you can shake a locker key at! If you fancy a younger, more alternative crowd, head to their Shoreditch location, for older muscle guys Vauxhall is the one, and Waterloo’s great for universal 24-hour fun.

Locker Room
Cosy sauna in a convenient corner of Kennington. It’s got a rough-and-ready local feel, and we mean that in a good way! It’s really nice, unthreatening, friendly vibes. Possibly a good place to start if you’re not very experienced with saunas and sex clubs and the like. Lock yourself into the Locker Room for fun and frolics.

Stable
Sexy steamy fun tucked away in the heart of London’s classiest shopping district. Who’d have thought it! Perfect to trot down to after work for a bit of unbridled fun. Have a nibble at someone’s saddlebags (see what we did there).

Sailors Sauna
Limehouse’s Sailors Sauna is a cosy, sexy, salubrious port in the choppy waters of London’s gay scene. They’ve got nice plant pots, with plenty of spaces to chill out, chat, or shag other guys. Hooray! The chairs in their lounge area are proper comfy. They’ve also got a lovely big Jacuzzi to settle down in and have a good old bubble.

Sweatbox
Soho’s only sauna attracts a young hot crowd with its ambient lighting and under 25 discounts. There’s even a mirrored room! And a sling in the basement. Hardcore. Love it. If you fancy more chilled out bubbly fun, they do monthly foam parties too.

Pleasuredrome
Widely regarded as the city’s most salubrious steamy establishment, the world famous sauna provides dirty, classless fun in a clean and classy environment! We particularly like their showers – it’s quite ambient lighting, and the ceiling in there is so high and dark that you can’t see the top. It’s like showering in a waterfall! Gorgeous.
124 Cornwall Road, SE1 8XE.
24 hours all week.
£17 entry, £12 under 25’s with proof of age. £12 with QX advert.
