Gay bath houses london

    Saunas have been an essential place for gay men to relax, hang out and cruise since ancient Roman times or even earlier. And 21st century London's not short of places to get steamy, from Soho to Shoreditch and down to the fleshpots of Vauxhall. Many of London's gay saunas are theoretically 'members only' but you can almost always just turn up and get in for a small fee. Then, you'll be issued with a towel and a locker. Inside, what you acquire will vary from an intimate spot for a few sweaty guys to a giant nude pleasure palace, complete with swimming baths, naked workouts, and late night foam parties. These spots are typically reserved for men only: for other genders who want to enjoy a good soak (but less cruising) check out our guide to London's foremost spas. 

    Recommended: head out on the tiles at London's best LGBTQ+ nightclubs.
