Communal showers I haven't seen mentioned on here are Kentish Town Leisure centre. If swim about 6 o clock in the eve the changing rooms usually have the after work crowd. Been propositioned twice in there and ended up in one of the cubicles with someone.
Also have had lots of glances and some 1on1 action in the Brixton ones. Either go between 8-9:30 in the morning or evening about 7 onwards, but always nice looking chaps having long showers in there.
Marshall street always has good looking business types. It doesn't lead to anything, apart from the occasional flash or feel.

I went to Cyclebeat studios this week. They only do spin classes and hot yoga. Great open communal showers in the men's changing room!

I'm actually not sure yet as I've only been once and it was a quiet time. They've got showers for swimming pool and for gym

Yep, very much so. Men only days in the Sauna complex downstairs on Monday and Wednesday mornings, £12 for entry.

Most men are fine with communal showers so I don't really understand the benefit of adding extra walls. Communal showers have loads of benefits. Firstly, there's always availability, as you can cheaply fit a lot more shower heads in one room. It's also uses one drainage system and is therefore easier to maintain and likely to be cleaner/more hygienic.

In my opinion, however, the greatest strength of communal showers comes from the psychological aspects. Especially in British culture, it's important to have moments where you can feel liberated. 95% of our lives are reserved, well mannered and obedient. The opportunity to finish a hard gym session with a communal shower makes perfect sense. You work hard and follow it up by stripping off and cutting loose. Just letting go completely of all tensions and insecurities and worries.

People want to get rid of them due to an invasion of privacy, but when you experience them and get used to them, you realise it's the only place left where you can feel completely comfortable with yourself. Nobody will judge you, make comments or be rude. At your most vulnerable you can feel the most strong. Long live Communal Showers!

You are so right about British culture. I've only lived in the UK for 3 years, but flipping heck, your comment 95% of our lives are reserved, well mannered and obedient."" hits the nail on the head. I think you left out the words "Controlled and repressed". No wonder the Brits are such piss cats.
