London has been home to an emerging community sauna movement for a few years. Particularly in the colder months, people in the capital are looking to stay healthy in more unorthodox ways, such as taking a steamy plunge.
The growth in the sauna movement has been thanks, in part, to the arrival of the Community Sauna Baths. It opened on a derelict site at the back of a 1930s public bathhouse in Hackney at the beginning of 2022.
