About
An industrial-scale Russian banya in a Hoxton warehouse, with a parílka hot enough to make you reconsider your choices. The venik birch-branch beating is the real draw, a ritual that sounds worse than it is. Cold plunge, steam room, and a restaurant that takes the food as seriously as the heat.
Good to know
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Urban venue: it sits inside the city rather than at a coast or lake. A session fits into a day in town.
- Women-only sauna: the venue has a women's side or room, or runs set women-only sessions.
- Mixed sauna: men and women share the room, in every session or on set days.
- Nude sauna: some or all sessions are taken without swimwear.
- Swimwear sauna: some or all sessions are taken in swimwear, so pack it.
