Check-In & Entry

Check-in is the same at every London venue: pay at reception, receive a locker key or wristband, collect your towel. Most venues accept card. The towel is what you wear inside — no other dress code applies.

If you are under 25, bring ID — several venues offer age-based discounts but may ask for proof. Pleasuredrome and Sweatbox Soho are both open 24 hours, every day of the year.

Facilities & Spaces

All six venues include steam room or sauna, private cabins or lockers, cruising areas, and a bar. Pleasuredrome has the widest range — including bookable private pods. Covent Garden Health Spa has a pool, which is unusual for London.

E15 Club has an infrared sauna alongside the standard facilities. Sailors Sauna includes a rooftop terrace. Most venues have a TV lounge or relaxation area.

Privacy & Discretion

London makes discretion straightforward. With six venues across different boroughs — Soho, Waterloo, Covent Garden, Kennington, Limehouse, Stratford — choosing one away from where you live or work is easy.

There is no obligation to participate in anything once you are inside. Consent is expected and enforced at all venues. For a full introduction, see the first visit guide.
