Make sure to use your GPS or map on your phone to find on 1st visit. Went mid week, so was on the quiet side. Lots of attitude, but what do you expect, its central London. Clean, pricey, would have appreciated a longer stay for the amount paid. Some what Sedate & dull atmosphere. Might be better to visit on weekend or discount day if available. Needs to charge half price for rugby or wrestling team members to liven up the place.
watch out
Nice clean modern facilities. Did not find the dark room if there is still one. However when I left I was accosted by a couple of European guys one of whom pretending to want to go home with me and being very intimate. Luckily I had my wits about me and got my mobile phone back that he had taken from my back pocket. Take care when you leave there.
I went here one night in the summer 2005, and haven't had the opportunity to go back, but I would love to. The building itself is fascinating. It's underneath Waterloo Station and down the street from the Old Vic Theater. I had a nice time in the steamroom with one man, and in a private room had a lovely time with an Asian man who wanted to spend more time with me (Alas, I was on my way to Scotland, or I'd have taken him up on the offer.) The hot tub was incredible, because there are rollers you can relax your back on. I loved it!
As long as you don't mind the obvious drug peddling, have at it. I found the fun I needed and avoided the drama so all was good. I liked the dark room with the black leather furniture and found some extra fun in there, but the sauna had a weird smell so I avoided it.
Avoid. Arrogant and selective.
Rude security guys. Used to be a relaxing place, not anymore. You will be threatened to be kicked out if your towel falls at the wrong part of the sauna, or to be even kicked out, if you buy too many drinks from the bar!!! They will not let you in if they think you're too far, or you've been to another bar before. Complete disgrace. There are better options in London.
