London Gay Saunas Waterloo | 101 Lower Marsh | http://www.gaysauna.co.uk/Waterloo/Waterloo.htm Great AC, comfortable video room, another huge sauna they say it's the largest in the UK.

Note that this is up on the second floor of the building, so keep an eye out for the entrance.

London Gay Saunas Shoreditch | 1 Fairchild St. | http://www.gaysauna.co.uk/Shoreditch/shoreditch.htm The heated pool is the draw here, as are the massive steam rooms and saunas.

And just a note here, some of them actually do come here to relax, so if they're pulling the quiet act, they're not playing hard to get. That being said, there is action here, and it's one of the few places where they serve booze, so enjoy!

London Gay Saunas Paradise Spa | 17 Crouch Hill | 020 7263 9675 | http://www.paradise-spa.co.uk/home/ The sauna facilities are fine here, but they're definitely not the draw this is about as cruise-y as it gets in the sauna scene.

The additional twist, though, is that the party starts at a bright and early 1pm and goes to a respectable 1-2am. A novel idea, and surprisingly fun.

London Gay Clubs Union | 66 Albert Embankment | 7970 193236 | https://www.facebook.com/unionvauxhall Union doesn't open until late, and doesn't heat up until the wee hours, so take your disco nap before getting your dance on.

London Gay Clubs Fire | South Lambeth Rd | 020 3242 0040 | http://www.firelondon.net/ Not every night is gay at Fire, so check before heading there, but it's usually the weekends that get their gay on.
