Our Values

At the heart of everything we do is the belief that sauna is for everyone. That’s why we prioritise affordability, inclusivity, accessibility and local connection.

This isn’t just a philosophy - it shapes our actions. We run free community sessions, give free session to NHS social prescribing referrals, offer great concessions memberships and host events for underrepresented groups. Whether it's a quiet moment of rest, a community gathering or a warm welcome for someone new, our sauna is designed to serve the whole community.

Support our Fundraiser

We’re raising £230,000 to invest the long-term future of Community Sauna Baths - and we’re inviting our community to join us in the vision.

Events

The ethos behind our events is to expand the potential of the sauna beyond sweat bathing. We combine the physical, mental, social and creative and collaborate with people within the local community to design and host a variety of events - from traditional Aufguss, storytelling, sound baths and yoga, to breathwork and queer poetry.

Social Prescribing

Our award-winning Social Prescribing Scheme, active in Hackney Wick, Stratford, and now South London, offers 10 free sauna sessions to anyone referred through NHS link workers or trusted charities. From chronic pain to social isolation, this scheme is proving the sauna to be a deeply healing way to support people in their challenges.

Reviews

  • This community sauna is a special place. Different log cabin saunas on site, some small some larger, with differing level of intensity. Also good cold plunge options too. A very respectful and open space creates a lovely chilled atmosphere.

  • This is one of my favourite places to go in London to unwind and relax. Such a good idea. Great activity to do alone or with a group of friends

    Theodore Piper

  • I love love loved my sauna experience here! Great atmosphere, went on a Sunday women’s only session and I felt so refreshed. Cold plunge options were cool too
