Pleasuredrome
Popoular, clean and dark round-the-clock men's sauna and spa (for gay and bi-sexual men), with two large dry saunas (up to 20 men), two steam rooms in close proximity to two dark rooms, stainless steel spa, a vast maze, tanning shower, cinema, 24-hour café and a 400-locker changing room. As of 2016 there are "deluxe pods" which can be rented for two to eight hours. Plus "London’s largest gay spa pool". Serves alcohol. Opened 1996. And gay-owned. Located not too far south of Waterloo Bridge. Attracts a slightly younger crowd. Pleasuredrome made the news on 19 September with the announcement that its television monitors would broadcast the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II rather than porn.

Popular gay sauna
I\'ve been to Pleasuredrome quite a few times and I think interms of cleanliness and facilities it\'s probably the best in town. Every time I\'ve been there it looked very clean and well kept. \nI wouldn\'t say it\'s the most popular sauna in London but it has a fair amount of visitors especially on the weekends. The crowd is mixed.
Avoid!
You will probably find easy sex here easily,especially at weekends. What you won't find is any relaxation.good facilities,good customer service or value for money. It is also worth mentioning that there have been cases of rape here and at least 2 drug-related deaths-despite the Gestapo-like staff patrolling the damn place every 5 minutes with torches (including all the relaxation/sex rooms)-which is a total buzz-kill and over-the-top. Don't be fooled by Pleasuredrome's glossy marketing literature-this Sauna is run-down,dirty & more likely to be filled with drug-addled and drunk folk than the models in the advert. It is currently £15 to get in plus you need a £1 coin (refunded when you leave) for your locker. You will find one small sauna room, 2 steam-rooms which are always far too hot to sit in for long. There is a small dark-room and a nice large Jacuzzi, a massively over-priced bar and a so-called relaxation area. I say "So-called" because it consists of uncomfortable metal seats, wobbly bar stools and an area where you can lie down. The manky "leather" cushions on the seats and rest area are cracked, smelly & haven't been replaced in years. If you want a private room with an actual lock on the door where you can have fun in private you will have to pay £3 for 2 hours. Come on Pleasuredrome,this is a basic facility included in the entrance fee for all other saunas I can think of. The showers are often cold & soap dispensers often broken or empty. Pleasuredrome would do well to learn from some of the gay saunas in Europe & Asia-which actually have comfortable relaxation facilities and-shock horror-even play classical and chill-out music during the day instead of 24/7 rave. I would advise spending an extra £4 & go to Chariots Shoreditch for a proper sauna experience.
First time
I want to come to know this place
Best sauna in London
Love this place - definitely the best sauna in London.
No let-up in staff patrols
Visited this weekend and never again. Not as busy as the likes of Chariots and the staff have a seriously bad attitude. They patrol the second floor CONSTANTLY with their flash lights, shining them under doors when the feel like it, making customers feel awkward, uneasy and unwanted. It was very unsettling and very unnecessary. I will not be returning to Pleasuredrome any time soon.
