Every aufguss sauna in England
&Soul Shoreditch
££London, United Kingdom
A 40-person aufguss sauna in a Shoreditch basement, with a sober bar and plant-based dining upstairs. The scale is unusual for London: the room is properly large and the aufguss programme runs regularly. It sells day passes as well as memberships, so a single visit is easy enough.
Arvo Sauna
£London, United Kingdom
An Australian-inspired neighbourhood bathhouse in Walthamstow, with two large Finnish saunas: one for conversation, one silent. Three ice baths are stepped at 10, 7 and 5°C. Sessions run 55 minutes with tea and showers included, and a breathwork and yoga studio is due in 2026.
Community Sauna Baths — Camberwell
£London, United Kingdom
Community Sauna Baths' Camberwell site sits in Ruskin Park, with three wood-fired saunas and four cold plunges. One sauna is step-free, and the plunges run from 5 to 10°C. Run as a community-interest company, it pairs proper Nordic-cycle bathing with low concession pricing.
Community Sauna Baths — Hackney Wick
£London, United Kingdom
The flagship of London's community sauna movement: 7 wood-fired saunas in a converted bathhouse at Hackney Wick. It is non-profit, and the heat is uncompromising. The canalside setting near the Olympic Park adds an industrial atmosphere that suits it.
Community Sauna Baths — Stratford
£London, United Kingdom
Community Sauna Baths' Stratford site sits in a community garden beside The Lighthouse. There are several wood-fired saunas, including an octagonal aufguss room and a small private cabin. Cold plunges and hot and cold showers complete the cycle, and concession pricing keeps it open to all.
Community Sauna Baths — Walthamstow
£London, United Kingdom
Community Sauna Baths' Walthamstow outpost sits on a former industrial plot off Blackhorse Road. Communal saunas, cold plunge pools and hot and cold showers ring a shared relaxation yard. Same community-interest model and accessible pricing as the rest of the group.
FIX MCR
££Manchester, United Kingdom
Home to the UK's largest standalone sauna, beneath Hilton Street in Manchester's Northern Quarter. It is handcrafted from western red cedar, with Himalayan salt brick walls. Guided contrast sessions add breathwork and sound healing; not for purists, but the room is genuinely impressive.
Fuse Saunas
££Nottingham, United Kingdom
Fuse is an urban sauna and cold plunge space in Nottingham, built around guided heat and recovery sessions. Themed experiences run from deep recovery to social wellness. Private hire is available for groups and events.
Güs
££Sheffield, United Kingdom
Güs is an urban thermal venue in Sheffield city centre, with two Finnish saunas. One is large, the other smaller with city views, and a cold plunge circuit of four ice baths runs alongside. Sessions are therapist-guided ceremonies or free-flow, with a café for afterwards.
Sauna Social Club
£London, United Kingdom
A sauna listening bar in a Peckham railway arch, with ice baths and aufguss sessions through the week. DJ sets run at the weekend. It takes the social half of sauna culture seriously without losing the heat.
Soul Sweats
£Porthtowan, United Kingdom
Holistic wellness hub at Mount Pleasant Eco Park on the Cornish cliffs above Porthtowan. Wood-fired sauna, hot tubs, and cold plunge all powered by fire and gravity. Sessions blend hot-cold therapy with breathwork and meditation.
The Nomadic Sauna
££Shoreham-by-Sea, United Kingdom

Warmth is a community sauna in Sheffield city centre, in a converted warehouse on Stanley Street. The heat is traditional wood-fired Finnish, run as drop-in visits and booked sessions. The focus throughout is on keeping it accessible.
