Sweatbox is a gay sauna and gym in the heart of Soho, just steps from many of London’s bars and clubs. For LGBTQ+ travelers, it offers a convenient mix of fitness and play, with facilities that make it one of the city’s most popular saunas.
The venue is spread across two subterranean levels. The sauna complex includes a 40-man steam room with a bucket shower, a 30-man steam room with a foam cannon, a 14-man Jacuzzi, and two Turkish-style hot rooms. Private cabins and play spaces are scattered through the maze-like layout, designed for both social encounters and more private fun. The atmosphere is dimly lit and designed to feel sexy and inviting.
The gym is fully equipped, but you don’t need to be a gym user to enjoy the sauna side. Many guys come directly for the spa and cruising facilities, especially in the evenings and on weekends.
The crowd is mixed, with a steady flow of locals and visitors thanks to its central location. Peak times are after work hours, late nights, and weekends, when it becomes particularly busy. For travelers staying in Soho, Sweatbox offers a convenient way to combine gym time, spa relaxation, and London’s gay cruising scene under one roof.
