We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and no pre-booking or reservation is required to enter Sweatbox. Any scheduled closings (ie Christmas Day) will be announced on our social media pages. You can find us on Instagram.

With 21 gay bars just a short walk away, it's no surprise that we're known as London's busiest gay sauna. Our busiest hours are after work, after pubs close and during the weekend. But as we are open 24 hours, we have a gym and we are in a very touristy location, we tend to be busier than most places at all other times as well. It's also worth remembering that busy isn't always better! Guys who come at quieter times tend to have more fun! Quality over quantity, Queen!
We have zero tolerance for drugs and, unfortunately, it's a problem we try to protect our clients from. As a result of robust risk assessments, we only allow bottled water or any other beverage to be purchased and consumed in our lounge area.
The minimum age to enter Sweatbox is 18 years old. And we are VERY strict about it! If you're lucky enough to look anywhere near 25 years old or younger, be prepared to offer some age identification as proof. If we don't ask for proofs, don't be offended, daddies are too sexy xx
The best way is info@sweatboxsoho.com. We strive to respond within 3 days. If the matter is more urgent, you can call 0204 519 6044. The best time to call is between 7am and 3pm. After that, we get extremely busy and sometimes we have to prioritize customers over calls.
No. All passes have a maximum stay of 8 hours on any entry (on all passes). We do this because we think it is unhealthy for anyone to stay in such a hot environment for more than 8 hours. Also, we are a spa, not a hotel!
There is a minimum of 2 hours of no return when you depart (on all passes).
