What you can expect

Urban Heat Sauna is located under the railway arches on Camberwell Station Road, just minutes from Denmark Hill and close to Brixton, Dulwich, Oval & Peckham

Our space is designed as a neighbourhood wellness hub where you can drop in for a reset, meet friends or unwind after work.

If you’re looking for a to get into sauna, our space offers something different from the typical gym add-on or spa environment. We combine a high-heat Finnish-style sauna with outdoor cold plunge facilities, monthly guided rituals, and a relaxed, community-led atmosphere.

We’ve kept things simple and considered with hot showers, toiletries, hairdryers, secure lockers (no padlocks needed), water stations, sauna hats and towel hire available - so you can arrive with just yourself (and your swimsuit) and settle straight in.

Hot Finnish-style sauna

A beautiful 15-seater sauna which we maintain 90-95C -designed for deep, consistent heat.

Perfect to sweat, breathe and really stretch out.

Icy Cold Plunges

Two outdoor ice baths set at 5 and 10C - cold, quick, and very alive. Or, try our bucket shower if you don’t fancy a plunge.

Step in, breathe through, and step out feeling sharper, calmer, and reset.

Cozy Lounge

Plenty of space to relax in our lounge with the worlds comfiest armchairs (according to our customers!)

Have a cup of tea, read a book or chat with friends pre or post-sauna.

Weekly session types

We run a regular program of mixed-gender, same-gender, quiet and parent and baby sauna sessions. We also offer guided sauna rituals twice a month.

Every booking includes access to our Finnish-style sauna and outdoor cold plunge facilities, allowing you to move between heat and cold at your own pace

Most guests move through a simple cycle of heat, cold and rest
• 10–15 minutes in the sauna
• a quick cold plunge or shower
• time to relax in the lounge
Repeat the cycle a few times to fully experience the benefits.

Communal Sauna

Our communal sessions are relaxed and social. You’ll share the space with others, but there’s no pressure to talk - some guests come for quiet time, others for conversation.

Quiet Sauna

A calm, grounding session created for those who prefer silence. The sauna becomes a space for meditation, stillness and deep rest. A gentle reset for the mind.

Book your session

Same-gender Sauna

Designed for those who feel more at ease in a single-gender environment. These sessions offer the same gentle, restorative sauna experience as our communal times.

Parent & Baby Sauna

A small group session designed for parents with pre-crawl babies. Enjoy soothing heat, calm surroundings, and space to breathe and connect with other parents, with your little one right beside you.

Guided Sauna

A small group, longer (90min) facilitated session incorporating breathwork, traditional techniques and aromatics inspired by European sauna culture. These sessions are slower, more immersive and designed to deepen the experience.
