Did you know that Pleasuredrome is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year? The place literally never closes, which makes it a sort of steamy gay enclave right in the heart of Zone 1. You don’t even need to worry about low blood sugar when you stumble out because posh cake shop Konditor is directly opposite. Town planning departments could never.

Anyway, my personal experience of that particular gay sauna is that it’s surprisingly relaxing. Or at least it would be, if it weren’t for the tinny Taylor Swift remixes blaring out of the speakers. I knew you were trouble when you walked in? Well, quite. Frankly, I'd prefer it if they played some Enya, but that might make the place feel more like a "wellness retreat" than what it actually is: a place where blokes go to catch a dick.
