About
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.
Good to know
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Set up outdoors: weather is part of the experience, so dress for the walk between cabin and water.
- Urban venue: it sits inside the city rather than at a coast or lake. A session fits into a day in town.
- Wood-fired heat: softer, heavier löyly than electric, and the smell of the stove is part of the room.
