The Best Gay Saunas in the UK
The UK is home to some of the biggest and best gay saunas in the UK.
The UK is home to some of the best gay saunas in the world, especially in London. The bigger saunas tend to stay open 24-hours a day, so you can find fun at any time, if you’re looking for it. Saunas in the UK often get busiest at weekends as the bars are closing.
You can rely on your favorite hookup apps to mediate your romantic encounters, but meeting people in real life is more fun. In a gay sauna, you have the option to get down to business quickly if you find someone you like.
Sweatbox Sauna – London
Located in Soho, London, Sweatbox is one of the largest and most popular saunas in the UK. It has a range of facilities including steam rooms, jacuzzis, private cabins, and even a gym. Its central location and consistent flow of hot men make it one of the most popular gay venues in the country. It gets busier at weekends when the bars are closing. As the bars in Soho are mostly closed by midnight, Sweatbox is an irresistible spot for many who haven’t pulled and don’t want the party to end.
Pleasuredrome – London
This 24/7 sauna in Waterloo is one of the largest gay saunas in London. It attracts visitors from all over the UK and beyond. Pleasuredrome, like Sweatbox, benefits from its prime location in the UK capital. As London is one of the most visited cities in the world, there’s an awful lot of passing trade. Much of it passes through the doors of both Sweatbox and Pleasuredrome.
The Pipeworks - Glasgow
The Pipeworks in Glasgow is one of Scotland's largest and most popular gay saunas. Located near the city's gay scene, The Pipeworks was established in 2006 and recently underwent a £400,000 refurbishment to upgrade its amenities and expand its spaces. The venue now features multiple floors, including a large spa pool, a steam room, a dry sauna, private cabins, a cinema cruise area, and more adventurous spaces like the Bukakee Room and Private Sling Room.
The facility also includes a licensed café/bar and iPad browsing areas. It operates seven days a week and is open 24 hours from Friday through Sunday. Glasgow gets very cold so this is a good place to warm up with a nice Scotsman.
The Basement Complex - Manchester
The Basement Complex in Manchester is a well-established gay sauna catering exclusively to men, with over two decades of experience. Located in Ancoats, this venue occupies the basement of a historic Victorian mill. Facilities include a dry sauna, steam room, and two spas, along with a licensed bar open from midday to 2 AM, where guests can pay by cash or card. It’s probably the busiest gay sauna in the north.
Manchester has a huge gay scene so there are plenty of gay men, perhaps at a loose end, and looking for some mischief.
