I visited some bathhouses in London this week and struggled to find info before going so thought I’d share some thoughts. Not massively experienced with sex venues, just some other bathhouses in Barcelona and Paris. Please add any thoughts or questions 
About me: 26, white, kinda hairy, bearded, carry some weight but not loads, well hung, stick to oral at these places

I had a good time, place is big with lots of places to cruise, although entry is confusing and not many chill places, but still hung around for an hour and a half. Guys here are mainly mid twenties to forties and fit. If you can get action here it’s definitely the best in London.
Basic info -
Entry was £20 for 24 hours but you need to ask if you want to return otherwise you don’t get the card. You put all the valuables you want to access during your stay in a red lock box and get a key and a towel (you can get another later which we definitely needed). You go upstairs and drop your stuff in lockers before entering the bar area. To enter the main area you have to exchange your key for a wristband that lets your through the turnstile.
Facilities -
Meant to be a foam party on Wednesday but didn’t happen because of the lack of staff. Going from top to bottom. The changing room is small but fine, the hairdryer is really good. You go down stairs to the bar (no alcohol btw) which has a bunch of seats to sit and a fairly large Jacuzzi (which was closed for cleaning during my stay). This area is in front of the staff so no cruising really happens here (that I saw). There are 2 places to go from here, either down to the gym that you need to be clothed to enter (I was not ) or through the turnstile. There are 2 floors you can access via the turnstile the first has a small corridor with showers (sensor on the side of the soap to work) and mirrors. Off the showers are a steam room maze with 2 entrances. The maze is very narrow (like turn sideways to let someone by and a boner may be block access ) but has some rooms and seats where people got action. There is also a dry sauna with a few tile platforms and seats. The bottom floor has a shower area beyond the toilets but kinda smelled, along with a lot of rooms. The rooms ranged from a lot, some where completely private, one or two had mesh walls so you could prep through, some were very open and one area just had latex sheets people would pull aside. There were also 3 slings and 3 posh cabins. A lot of the rooms in the corridors had rubber mattresses and some had pools of liquid on them, looked to be water. Water fountains were throughout. I would say I did struggle with heat regulation a bit as the sauna areas were so warm compared to the basement and without the pool there was no where to just chill beyond the chairs by the bar. The place seemed very clean although I saw no cleaners. There are also no hooks to hang your towel anywhere
The men -
There was one man I saw who may have been under 20, by far the majority were between 25 and 40, although older people were there, the oldest I saw was probably mid 50s but was quite fit and very hung. I saw a number of East Asian and South Asian men, although I didn’t see as many black men, but the majority was still white. Body hair varied a lot from smooth to very furry. In terms of size I saw men who were very muscular, very thin and quite fat, but most men were quite averagely built, although I did see more abs then you would probably see in a random section of the general populace. Most people were looking but would interact if you locked eyes and they thought you were fit. Bar one guy everyone who I turned down would leave and not push it.
Action -
Before the turnstile and the in the dry sauna I saw nothing happening. In the showers by the steam room I saw a lot of looks but nothing further. The steam room maze had a lot of action, there are 3 rooms in the maze and something was always happening in each of them although never beyond sucking. The seating area was also popular, a lot of guys seemed to meet here and head down. In the basement a lot was happening behind doors closed to differing degrees with a lot of guys in rooms looking for company. Guys behind the curtains were fucking and very happy for people to join. In one corner a guy was blowing anyone.

It was okay. The guys are a bit older and I had more than one issue with consent. The place does have a nice vibe. I was here maybe 45 mins.
Basic info -
Quite a private entrance compared to other similar places. Entry required a temperature check and was only £12 as I’m under 30. Lockers use a token that is already in them when you get the key along with 2 towels.
Facilities -
You walk downstairs and there are showers to the left. Before the showers are hooks to hang you towels and some benches. The showers are really nice and very well lit. The red ones are warm and the blue one is cold (may be obvious to you but wasn’t to me). Turning right from those stairs takes you to reception and then past that is the bar area, where you must remain clothed. Beyond the bar is the spa pool, the biggest in London although all seem to be the same size, but is defo the most private I’ve seen in London. Further along are the rinsing showers that had no hooks that I could see and were poorly lit. These lead to a corridor that ends in a small steam room but have a bigger steam room a long the way and 2 small dry saunas, as well as an area to sit and watch porn that is playing. Beyond this there are rooms upstairs but I believe none are free and all require booking. I saw a few cleaners walking around.
The men -
At 26 I was probably the youngest guy there, with most men being 40 plus. Definitely had the oldest clientele I’ve seen with one man looking to be in his 70s. Most men were white, I believe I saw a few South Asian men, but the crowd was very white. I didn’t see many men thinner than myself, a lot of the crowd was bigger. Most cocks were more of an average size. I did have a few issues with men being way too handsy and had to leave more than one area to escape men who would not stop touching me.
Action -
I did not rent a room or join anyone in a room. I did walk into the showers and find a guy on his knees sucking someone off. Beyond that all the action I saw took place in the steam rooms.

Overall -
Very chill place to hang out. Not sexy at all and I saw no cruising. I was here 20 mins.
Basic info -
The entrance is through the door and to the left of the barbers and down some stairs. £10 because I’m under £30.
Facilities -
Changing rooms are to the left and are okay. They have a weak hairdryer and some hair gel etc for you to use. Turning right takes you to the bar. Past the bar is a big pool. By the pool is a corridor that leads to the toilets and has a sauna and the showers off it. Near the pool are also some cubicle and a steam room, which had no visibility. There was also more space but was locked off. The place was cleaned a lot and staff kept moving about but it is very open plan so kinda unavoidable.
The men -
The clientele was older than me, I would say average age about 40, and a bit overweight. A lot of daddies and bears. People kept to themselves for the most part, although I saw one guy grab someone else and call him good boy.
Action -
I saw and experienced none.
