← Back to SaunasWhy this one made the list
A Peckham sauna built as an alternative to the pub — two hot Finnish rooms, four ice baths at graded temperatures, and a listening lounge of tea, art and board games. Aufguss rounds and ambient DJ sessions, with music piped into the downstairs sauna, turn a sweat into a way to be social without a drink in hand.

What you'd want to know
A Peckham sauna over two levels. Two timber-lined Finnish sauna rooms run hot, water buckets and ladles resting by the stoves.
A row of four stainless-steel ice baths sits at graded temperatures for the contrast cycle, with rinse showers alongside. The social heart is a listening lounge — low cushioned corners, a tea-and-snacks station, visual art installations on the walls, stacked books and board games for lingering.
Warm low lighting throughout; a downstairs sauna wired for ambient music and DJ sets.

- booking only, and it closes for maintenance now and then — check before you go.
