Quietest verification round we’ve had in months. After two consecutive sweeps where the Midlands kept giving us things to write about — Greenhouse Darlaston’s expanded clinic schedule, Club Zeus’s Bears Night, Daddy Thursday and the rest — this round the whole network sat still. Not a single price moved. No new events. No closures. No hours shifts. The only loose end is the one we already knew about.
On 12 May we re-checked all 36 live listings against each operator’s own website. Thirty-three were unchanged, two have no external website on file (so we can’t cross-check), and Sailors Sauna in London is still down — now eleven days in. That’s the whole report.
How the round shook out
This is the second sweep in a row where the network has been mostly steady, and the first in a while where there is genuinely nothing operational to flag at any venue. The pattern across the last few rounds — Midlands activity, London cleanup, southern coast steady — has settled. Every venue with a live website has prices, hours, facilities and events on their site that match what we have on ours. For a 36-venue network across England, Scotland and Wales that’s a real result.
The one ongoing problem is Sailors Sauna in London. The site has now been throwing an SSL certificate error since 01 May — eleven days of downtime across six consecutive failed checks (01, 03, 06, 07, 10 and 12 May). We flagged at the last sweep that if it wasn’t back up by this round we’d consider adding a “website currently unavailable” indicator to the listing, and we’re now at that point. Sailors is still trading on socials as far as we can tell, but the website itself is publicly unreachable and has been for a week and a half. If you’ve visited the venue recently or have a current phone number that works, please drop us a line — we’d rather hear from someone on the ground before changing the listing.
Two listings, Spartan Health Club in Birmingham and Pennine Sauna in Shaw, have no external website on file — so the check is metadata-only and the on-site data we hold is what we hold. Both venues continue to trade and we’ll cross-check via other channels (phone, socials, visitor reports) on a slower cadence.
What changed this round
Nothing on the live data side. No prices, no hours, no events, no facilities. Across 33 listings with verifiable websites, every figure on every listing matched what the operator publishes. That’s unusual enough to be worth saying plainly: this was the calmest round of the year so far.
The verified-on date on every listing now reads 12 May 2026, and the next sweep kicks off whenever the rotation picks back up.
